Method of Salaah

Dua after Salaah

Q: It is mentioned that a person's dua will be answered if he makes duaa after the fardh salaah. Does this mean that he should make dua after the fardh of the salaah or after the entire salaah is completed?

Salaah according to the Hanafi Mazhab

Q: I was raised in a Hanafi family and I pray my salat according to the Hanafi school. But recently I found out that prophets prayer was a little bit different than the way Hanafis pray. For example, Hanafis DONT raise their hands before going to the Rukuh and while straightening up from the Rukuh. So I was thinking should I start praying like the way Hanbalis pray? I go to a Hanafi masjid. Can I pray like this over or should I act like a pure Hanafi?

Misprounincing the letter ذ as ز , ظ or the letter ث as س , ص ?

Q: What about specifically misprounincing the letter ذ as ز , ظ or the letter ث as س , ص ? For non-arabs the letters ذ , ظ , and ث are quote difficult to pronounce since these letters are prounounced with a lisp i.e bringing the tongue between the upper and lower teeth when pronouncing it. So the non-arabs because they are not used to the lisp sound read the same representative lettersound without the lisp. In such case is the salaah invalid either intentionally or unintentionally?

Mixing up letters which have a similar sound in Salaah

Q: Letters which have similar sounds like: ذ , ز , ظ does mixing up between them nullify the salaah? Also ت , ط and also ث , س , ص and also د , ض and also ح , ه and also ا , ع also ق, ك does mixing up between these letters nullify the salaah? I read that there a different views, but what is view that is to be taken ? And what did the majority say?

Making Dua in Salaah in any other language besides Arabic

Q: If a person is incapable of making du’ā in Arabic during his salāh, may he make du’ā in any other language? I read that if he is able to make du’ā in Arabic, then there exists a difference of opinion in the permissibility of doing so in a different language while in salāh. According to Imām Abū Yūsuf and Imām Muhammad, it is impermissible and the prayer will not be valid.  On the other hand, according to Imām Abū Hanīfah, the prayer will be valid, but it is makrūh (disliked) to do so. Is this true? But the question is what if a person is incapable of making du’ā in Arabic during his salāh? Is it permissible without being makruh?
