Salaah

Q: After the shahadah, should the finger be lowered to rest on the thigh or lowered to be above the thigh?

Q: What are signs of acceptance of dua or your hajat prayer? And what is the best way/wazifa to ask from Allah Ta'ala?

Q: What is the shariah rulings in light of (the Quraan and Hadiths) of appointing someone a مؤذن‎‎, (mu’aḏḏin) or someone is regularly call to
prayer (adhan) who is clean-shaven (without any beard)? To my little understanding a clean shaven person fasiq? Am I correct in my assertion?

Q: If I don't read salah on time and within an hour or less I get my haidh, so do I have to make qadha after I get paak?

Q: What is the ruling in Hanafi fiqh regarding rafaya dain in the salah of women and slave girls?

Q: Today at zuhr I had experienced a lot of doubts in the prayer and here is the list:

1. Weak doubt happened after sujood about back being straight in 1st rak'ah.

2. Whether accidentally extending the meem in Sami Allaahu liman hamidah, unsure.

3. In my 3rd rak'ah I stood straight up from sujood, and then doubted whether I made two sujood or not, as I was already standing I didn't go back and I could only be firm in that I definitely made 1 sujood but doubtful about 2nd and as 2 sujood is one of the essentials for a valid rak'ah I made full Tashahhud in my 4th rak'ah and stood up to let that 4th rak'ah take the place of the third in which I doubted the two sujood.

4. In the replacement rak'ah I doubted saying Rabbi instead of Rabbil Aalameen, but it's a very weak doubt.

5. During the sujood I then rose and again doubted whether I did 1 or 2 sujood, I think after beginning Tashahhud or maybe before. It seems like a pressure doubt, as. I don't want my salaah to be invalid. Anyway I recall having Rabbighfirlee in my mind and this just leads me to thinking its probably a doubt, "but what if its not?" 

Then during this with my wandering thoughts, after the Shahadah I said something starting with ashhadu and ending in Qadeer, but before that I already said the Shahadah so I repeated it mistakenly, even though I said something different.

Then said salaams and did two sujood out of forgetfulness and even in here I  doubted about saying the full durood.

What should I do? I have regular doubts affecting me in prayer and Wudoo'. Do I repeat the prayer?

Q: I was travelling through a certain town two Fridays ago and the Aalim that performed the Jummah Bayaan, Khutbah and Namaaz clearly had a shortened and trimmed beard. I enquired from the local people who informed me that he is an Aalim. They also informed me that the trustees and imaam are all aware of this and have done nothing about it. I was a traveller and wanted to find out what will be the status of my Salaah?

Q: My local imam makes some mistakes sometimes in salaah and I need to know whether these mistakes invalidate the prayer.

Mistake 1) The imam sometimes says hamza/alif Instead of saying ein for reciting quran, does this invalidate the prayer?

Mistake 2) For the name of Allah, Al-Quddus in the quran, the imam changes the seen into a saad-does this invalidate the prayer?

Q: Can we offer namaz behind a person who commits shirk or has the aqeedha of shirk?

Q: In Deoband the Ulama say witr prayer in Kaaba is not valid and we need to repeat it as it remains due. Is this correct? Also, can one pray 1 or 3 or 5 rakats in witr?
