Sunnat Salaah before zuhr
Q: I would like to ask concerning about the 4 raka'at sunnah before zuhr. I heard someone say that there should only be one salaam in the entire 4 raka'at. Then someone told me that there should be 2 salaams, now I'm confused. Which one is correct? or it depends on which madhhab I follow? Please elaborate.
Total number of rakaats in Esha Salaah
Q: From your Namaaz chart (http://muftionline.co.za/node/11013) I have seen that there are total 15 rakaats in Esha salah. But I have heard that there are total 17 rakaats in Esha salah i.e. 4 sunnah, 4 fard, 2 sunnah muakadah, 2 nafl, 3 witr and 2 nafl. Please clarify.
Status of Qunoot in Salaah
Q: Is the Qunoot Fard in Esha and Fajr Salaah?
Performing the four sunnats of zuhr after the fardh
Q: If one is late for zuhr salaah and joins the jamaat without perfoming the 4 sunnats before zuhr, when must the 4 sunnats be performed? Must it be perfomed after the 4 faradh?
Forgetting to recite dua-e-qunoot in witr Salaah
Q: If we forget to say dua-e-qanoot in witar what should we do then?
Missed Sunnats for Fajr
Q: When I woke up for fajar and after I performed wudhu there were 3 minutes left for sunrise. I therefore performed only the 2 rakahs fardh fajar and did not offer the 2 rakah sunnah. Was I correct?
Should I offer the 2 rakahs sunnah later?
Performing Tahajjud as well as all one's fardh Salaah
Q: I want to ask if I can pray Tahajjud when I am unable to pray Zuhr on time and pray it as qaza namaaz.
Tahiyyatul Musjid
Q: When entering my local masjid shortly before fard salat starts, some people avoid sitting down before the fard prayer. They say this is so that they will be able to include the intention of tahiyyatul masjid in their fard prayer (they say that according to their madhab which I think is Shafie, the opportunity of tahiyatul masjid disappears when you sit down). I know that the opportunity of tahiyatul masjid is not nullified for us Hanafis by sitting down, but is it still recommendable for us to stand together with the others (i.e. not sit) even if we are Hanafis, to be on the safe side and to avoid ikhtilaf? I mean just as our books of fiqh says that it is mustahabb for us to redo wudhu after having touched a person of the opposite gender in order to avoid ikhtilaf.
