Reciting more verses in the second rakaat
Q: If an imam recites the 1st 15 verses (i.e. 1st ruku) from (1-15) of Surah Maryam in his 1st rakaat of fajr salah and in his second rakat recites 25 verses (i.e 2nd ruku) from 16-40, is the salaah valid?
Conditions for the validity of Salaah
Performing Asr Salaah in Shafi'ee time
Q: Please advise if we can perform Asr Salaah in Shafi'ee time . This is done to accommodate staff that have transport problems and will not be able to make jamaat if Asr salaah is performed during hanafi time. Please advise.
Performing Salaah with short sleeve kurta
Q: Is it permissible to perform Salaah with a short-sleeve kurta?
Delaying in performing Asr and Esha Salaah and reconciling between the Ahaadith
Q: If asr Salaah is until maghrib and if esha Salaah is until fajr, then why is there a hadith that says asr is until the sun turns yellow or pale and esha is until midnight?
Performing Asr and Esha Salaah when the time sets in according to the view of Imaam Abu Yusuf (Rahmatullahi Alayh)
Q: Is it ok to read Asar and Esha at the time set by Imam Abu Yusuf, especially if one is reading alone and it is easier to do so at that time.
Delaying Esha Salaah
Q: Can you please tell me if our Esha Salaah gets late, could it be read after midnight? Because after midnight a new day commences? Please can you help me?
Joining two Salaahs in one time
Q: Please advise on the ruling regarding joining of Salaahs when one is a musaafir. Most people join their salaah saying it is permitted as a musafir and better to join than miss it. And in which circumstances will it be permissible to join? If a person joins their Salaah regularly as a musafir will the salaah be valid?
When does Tahajjud time end?
Q: I have two questions which I kindly request you to answer me.
1. I have doubt regarding tahajjud Salaah. I want to know when it exactly ends. Say the fajr Salaah starts at 5.23 am in where I live , now. Till wheat time then can we pray tahajjud Salaah? I want to know the timing so I can rectify if I make any mistakes.
2. Can we recite salawatun naariya with a particular niyat to be fulfilled? Where I live people recite it 4444 times with a particular niyat he or she has. Is it permissible?
Salaah time ending while one is performing Salaah
Q: If I perform a namaz other than Asr that I start late just before the prayer time ends and then when I finish it is like a couple of minutes over it's time. Does the prayer count or must it be made up?
Performing Salaah at zawaal time
Q: Zawal is at 12:10. A person starts praying at 12:05 and finishes the prayer at 12:15. Does his prayer become totally invalid and baatil due to part of it falling in zawal time, or will it still be valid but with karaahat?
