Reciting a Surah after Surah Faatiha in the 3rd and 4th rakaat
Q: Should we recite any Surah after Surah Faatiha in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of Sunnat Ghair Muaqqadah, Sunnat Muaqqadah and Farz Salaah?
Method of Salaah
Repeating durood-e-ebrahim
Q: Is the salah valid if during the final sitting in salah I repeated the durood ebrahim from the beginning despite having recited more than half of it due to a mistake I thought I made during my recitation of the first part of the durood?
Reciting incorrectly
Q: Does reciting a short letter long (like kawthar as kawthaar), and a long letter short (like 'alaa reading as 'ala) invalidate the salaah if it is done on purpose?
Omitting one Surah in between two Surahs
Q: Is a person allowed to skip one surah in namaaz?
Reciting the Dua in jalsa
Q: During jalsa, would it make my salaah invalid according to the hanafi madhab if I were to recite the dua 'Allahuma aghfirlii wa arhamnee?
Omitting a Surah in-between two Surahs
Q: I have been told that if, for example one reads surah Nasr in the first rakaat, then in the next rakaat one cannot read surah Ikhlaas. One must recite the surah immediately thereafter or there should be at least a gap of two surahs. Please clarify this rule for me (e.g., does it apply only to short surahs? Does it apply to a 4 rakaat salaah as well?)
Skipping a few ayaat and reciting from the same Surah in the second rakaat
Q: If a person recites from the middle of one surah in one rakaat and thereafter leaves out a few aayaat and continues reciting from the same surah in the second rakaat, will the Salaah be valid?
Reciting the end of Surah Baqarah in the first rakaat and surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat
Q: Will it be makrooh if a person recites a few aayaat from the end of one surah in the first rakaat and recites a complete surah in the second rakaat of a fardh Salaah (e.g. the end of surah Baqarah in the first rakaat and surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat)?
Reciting a portion of one surah in the first rakaat and reciting a portion of another Surah in the second rakaat
Q: If a person recites from the middle of one surah in one rakaat and from the middle of another surah in the second rakaat or if a person recites from the end of one surah in one rakaat and from the end of another surah in the second rakaat of a fardh Salaah, will the Salaah be valid?
Reciting the last ruku of a Surah in the first rakaat and the first ruku of the next Surah in the second rakaat
Q: An Imaam recited the last ruku of surah Yaseen in the first rakaat of the fajr Salaah, thereafter he recited the first ruku of the next surah (i.e. surah Saaffaat) in the second rakaat. Will the Salaah be valid?
