Questions relating to qiraat in Salaah
Q:
- I have been told that if, for example one reads surah Nasr in the first rakaat, then in the next rakaat one cannot read surah Ikhlaas - it has to be the next surah, or a gap of 2 surahs. Please clarify this rule for me (e.g., does it apply only to short surahs, does it apply to 4 rakaat salaah as well, etc.)
- For long surahs, can one read from different parts of the surah in consecutive rakaats. Eg., 1st rakaat beginning verses of surah Najm, and 2nd rakaat ending verses of surah Najm.

Laughing in Salaah

Incorrectly pronouncing the letter daal in "Rabbanaa lakal hamd"
Q: If "Rabbanaa lakal hamd" the word hamd at the end is sounded as a ت and not د will the salaah brake? The letters ت and د are they from same makhraaj, and so there is no zallatul qari is these are replaced by eachother not on purpose?
Incorrect pronunciation
Q: I read in a book that to read Sami Allahu liman hamidah, to read hamidah with a soft h i.e. a ه will break salaah. Why is that? The meaning is changed? What if it happened unintentionally?
