Salaah

Zawaal time

Q: What is zawal time? How much time before zohar Salaah does it start? Is there any zawal time before maghrib? If someone is reading/reciting Quran Sharif and zawal time commences, does he have to stop reading?

Reciting Ameen softly

Q: I want to know about the saying of ameen in low tone according to Imam abu hanifa as it is contrary to the practice of the Sahaba. Please elaborate. I also know that ameen is a dua and according to quran dua should be said in a low tone but why should we do it when no Sahabi has done it?

Forgetting to make sajda-e-sahw

Q: In Saheeh Muslim there is a hadeeth in the chapter of forgetting in salaah. The hadeeth mentions that after the salaah wherein Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) performed three rakaats in salaatul Asr, Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) entered his home and came back out and spoke etc. and then just made sajda sahw.

  1. People now say that if one begins to talk after the salaah wherein sajda sahw supposed to take place, he has to repeat the entire salaah. Please explain.
  2. The hadeeth mentions that Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) came out angrily. Why did he become angry?
