Qadha Salaah after Asr

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2012-10-31 07:31

Q: With the Mercy of Allah, I have recently starting reading all my qadhaa salaah that i have missed since i became baaligh, this being a few years of salaah. I am able to read my fajr qadhaa before leaving for work, then my zohr qadhaa after performing zohr salaah, magribh qadhaa after magribh and esha after esha salaah. I have not been able to fit in my asr salaah as I am aware that one cannot perform any salaah afer asr. However, I have been advised, that if i am performing my qadhaa salaah then i can perform it after asr. Is this correct or permissable?

Q: Why is the ladies Ruku' different from the males (they only touch the tips of the fingers on the knees), whereas Nabi (SAW) mentioned many warnings against it e.g the Hadith of stealing from Salaat, the Mursal Hadith in Abu Dawud only proves the Sajdah not the Ruku'?

Reading different Surahs each day in the five Salaats

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2012-10-03 08:24

Q:

  1. Is it imperative to read diff rent surats each day in the five salaats? Would salaat be valid if one continuously recites the same surats only.  For example, in the Maghrib salaat each day, one habitually recites sura Falaq in the first rakaat and sura Naas in the second rakaat. 
  2. Can Ayatul Kursi be recited in place of a sura in salaat or is it necessary to add at least two ayaats before or after ayaatul Kursi?
