Q: I know that if you miss a waajib in prayer, you must perform sajdah-e-sahw, and if you fail to do so, you should repeat the prayer, so long as its time remains. However, once the time for the prayer is over, the prayer is not to be repeated. What is the status of missing a waajib act in a qada prayer? If you miss a waajib in a qada prayer, and you failed to perform sajdah-e-sahw (or you performed sajdah-e-sahw incorrectly, i.e. you made only one sajdah), do you then have to repeat that qada prayer? Is it merely recommended to repeat that qada prayer or is it waajib to repeat that qada prayer?

Q: A person has a small Qur'an in his top pocket. Would it be permissible to perform Salaah with it in the pocket because in sajdah the Quran would be quite low?

Q: A person is performing Salaah reading his dhor and he forgets where he is. He thinks for a few seconds and goes back and continues. Does this pause make sajdah sahw necessary?

Would this change depending on the Salaah he was performing e.g. if it were sunnats or taraweeh or fardh etc?
