Q: I am a haafizah and read my dhor in my salah. I find it a bit difficult when reading my dhor soflty in salah. Is it allowed for me to recite my Quran loudly (while no one can hear me as I read within the confinement of my room) in salah? My dhor isn't very strong that's why I'm finding it a bit difficult and when reading in this way it makes it easier.
Q: We are 4 girls and our room is very small. We don't have enough space to pray in one line. Is it allowed for me to pray behind them? For example, can 2 of us pray in front and the rest behind them because our room is very small.
Q: Will a woman be allowed to wear a long dress or long skirt to read salaah?
Q: Can I pray in leggings if my top ends a few inches above my ankles?
Q: I would like to know what is the ruling on this particular case:
1. When a pregnant woman's water has broken and she has a bloody show, is salaah that she did not make yet now need to be made up?
2. Women were also advising another pregnant woman that until the baby's head has partly come out, she must make salaah that is due at that time as well as if dilation has been checked she must make ghusl (if she needs to make salaah) as the nurse/doctor has put their fingers inside. What is the correct view?
Q: A woman who follows the hanafi school, if she doesn't cover her feet in salaah, will the salaah be valid?
Q: A woman is at some public place (e.g park, bazar, airport) and she has to offer fardh salaah. What will be the correct method:
1. Offer salaah with qiyaam
2. Offer salaah while sitting (omitting qiyaam due to the presence of na mahrams around)
3. Offer first rakaat with qiyaam, while the rest of the rakaats sitting.
Q: Is it permissible for a woman to read salaah with her purdah on?
Q: Is it permissible for a female to read salaah audibly in her home where there is no chance of a non-mahram hearing her?
Does the ruling differ with fard, nafl and sunnah?
Q: According to the Hanafi mazhab, females are supposed to be close to the ground during sajdah and should therefore put their elbows on the ground. But there is a Hadith in which Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) says that doing so is imitating dogs. Maybe that hadith was meant only for men, but just to be on the safe side, am I allowed to raise my elbows off the ground?
