Q:
1. When reciting surahs in salaah, does one have to take a breath after every verse or can they just pause slightly and go onto next verse.
2. What if they stop and take a breath on a part they should not and carry on reading. Like in Surah Fatiha, I sometimes take a breath just before 'ghair ril maghdoobi alaihim' even though there is no pause there. Is my Salah ok in both cases?
Q: After a sajdah Ayat in salaah, does one recite Bismillah before continuing with the qiraat?
