Method of Salaah

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 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?

Tasbih-e-fatimi, ayatul kursi etc. after the fardh

Q: After the fardh salaah, I know according to the hanafi madhab the tasbih-e-fatimi, ayatul kursi etc should be read only after the sunnah-e-muakkida. However, if I end up forgetting or getting distracted after sunnats and find it easier and can be more punctual in recitation after the fardh immediately, and then after that read sunnats, is this permissible?

Reciting the Tasbeehaat of Salaah is such a way that one can hear himself

Q: I have a question with regards to method of performing salaah. If one is performing salaah, whether alone or in jamaah, should the person recite his tasbeehat in a manner that the next person can audibly hear what he is reading or should the brother read it softly so that the next brother cannot hear what the brother is reading.
