Performing taraweeh salaah with jamaat
Q: Is it permitted to read taraweeh at home as a non hafiz baligh male? If I read taraweeh at home some nights and at the masjid some nights is this fine, reason being I get tired some days.
Salaah
Performing nafl salaah before the fardh of Fajr
Q: After the Fajr Azaan one is only allowed to perform the 2 Sunnats. If we performed our 2 Sunnats of Fajr after the Azaan at home then when we enter the Masjid:
1. Can we perform 2 Rakaats Tahiyyatul Masjid or will it fall away?
2. Can we perform other Nafl Salaah during this time before the Fardh Salaah commences?
Altering one's sitting posture after sajdah to avoid urine drops coming out
Q: I have a problem that when I go to sajdah, some drops of urine come out. So when I do sajdah, I do my best to prevent from this happening. For this I often do sajdah with my feets not touching each other in sajdah.
Also when I rise from one sajdah I do not sit properly and then again go to the next sajdah.
These acts prevent the drop of urine from coming out.
Is this permissible for me or not to do during Namaz?
Muqtadi repeatedly clearing his throat during ṣalaah without need
Q: What is the ruling on a muqtadi repeatedly clearing his throat during ṣalaah without need, where no audible words are formed—does it nullify the prayer?
Disciplining someone else's child in the masjid
Q: If another persons child comes to the musjid and is playing or makes noise can I hit him? If the child is between 7 and 12.
Children standing in the adults' saffs if they are misbehaving
Q: Is it correct for a person to keep his sons behind him in the masjid - away from other children as these children are causing a disturbance in the back. Some children hit others.
What will be the correct age to bring children to the masjid? Any guidelines regarding the children's saffs as some mention that the children can stand in the adults' saffs if they are misbehaving.
Please clarify with guidelines for our masaajid.
Moving one saff back for an Aalim to stand in the first saff for salaah
Q: When we are in the masjid and iqaamah has already started, sometimes a person in the first row moves back to make space if another learned Maulana arrives, even though there are already a few learned Ulama present in the first row.
Should we move from our place to give space to a Maulana at that time, or should we remain focused and avoid movement so we can prepare ourselves to stand before Allah? What is the correct adab according to the sunnah?
Standing on the mataaf and performing fardh salaah
Q: Is it permissible to read salaah on the mataaf in jamaat, as this is technically reading in front of the imam? Previously the imaams would perform on the mataaf/hateem, but not anymore.
Performing salaah in the musjid if it is nearby
Q: I am praying taraweeh in a place where five times prayers are offered throughout the year but not the Jumuah prayer. It is a small place with fixed Imam.
Can we pray Esha here or should I pray Esha in a bigger nearby masjid and then go there for taraweeh?
Correcting the direction of the qiblah in the masjid
Q: In my masjid, the qiblah is off by a bit. In between 35 - 43°. (Closer to 40° in most apps)
They are getting new carpets fitted insha Allah. However, the committee are disputing on whether to face it to the qibla or keep it as it is. They will lose a few musalla spaces if they angle the carpets and it will make the carpets not match the building which they don't want.
I've said, although the salaahs may be valid, it would be best to angle it and go closer to the qiblah, preferably within 20°. Could you give a final answer into the matter?
