Salaah

Following the Imaam in sajdah even if one did not complete "Rabbana Wa la kal hamd"

Q: When the Imam says Sami Allah Huli man Hamidah, I try to say Rabbana Wa la kalhamd. But before I finish saying it, the imam says Allah Hu Akbar and goes into sajdah before I have finished saying Rabbana Wa la kalhamd. In this case, should I:

  1. Stop saying  Rabbana Wa la kal hamd as soon as the Imaam says the takbir and goes into sajdah?
  2. Continue to say Rabbana Wa la kalhamd while following the imam into sajdah?
  3. Do not say Rabbana Wa la kalhamd at all knowing that I won't finish it in time before the imam goes into sajdah.

Omitting one's Salaah and performing it as qaza due to one's job

Q: I recite quaran daily in the morning without fail. Also I had started salat but unfortunately I can not perform five time salaat on time because my job is like that. So whatever time of salaat I get, I perform it. Like I came early home so I perform magrib and isha. So my question is that how can I perform Salaah on it's proper time or else I have to perform kaza namaz.

Sitting and performing Fardh and Waajib Salaah without a valid excuse

Q: If a person prays a fardh or waajib  prayer sitting down, without a valid excuse, is his prayer considered invalid? I recently heard from a Mufti that the prayer itself would be valid, since he did not miss a fardh element of prayer by sitting down (and not standing). What is the position of the Hanafi madhab in this regard?
