Method of Salaah
Tashahhud of Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radiyallahu Anhu)
Q: Are Hanafi's allowed to pray this Tashahhud:
التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِين. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.

Congregational Dua
Q: One person who has ta'lluq with the salafees told me that making dua with jamaat after salaah is not established. Therefore we shouldn't make it in group. Rather each one should make his dua separately.
Reciting Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam instead of the durood in Salaah
Q: If we are short in time when praying salat, instead of reading the whole "Allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa.." in Durood, can we suffice with just "Salla allahu alayhi wa sallam", will the sunna be fulfilled by this? Also, is it ok to just mention the Prophet as a pronoun or should he be mentioned by name i.e. "Salla allahu ala Muhammedin wa sallam"?
Reciting the tasbeeh of ruku' and sajdah only once
Q: I would like to know, is it necessary to do sajda-e-sahw if we pray "Subhanarabiyal azim "only once in ruku instead of three times, also if we mistakenly pray "subhanarabiyalala" only once instead of three times in sajda?
CD playing the the background while one is performing Salaah
Q: I would like to know while reading namaaz, can you have a cd playing in the background (recitation of Surah Yaseen). Because we have learnt that when reading saalah you have to give you full concentration.
Reciting Ameen softly
Q: I want to know about the saying of ameen in low tone according to Imam abu hanifa as it is contrary to the practice of the Sahaba. Please elaborate. I also know that ameen is a dua and according to quran dua should be said in a low tone but why should we do it when no Sahabi has done it?
Reciting a masnoon dua in the first qa'da of a four rakaat nafil salaah
Q: In a four rakaat sunnah ghayr muakkad salaah or a four rakaat nafila prayed with one taslim, if one reads in the first tashahhud after the durood ibrahimiyyah a masnoon dua does this entail sajdah sahw? Or is this permissible?
