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?
Q: I read that in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of qadha salaah (zuhar, asar, maghrib and esha) you can pray subhaanallah three times instead of Surah faatiha and the Salaah will be valid and you will have fulfilled the right of the Salaah. Is this true?
Q: If one has many years of Qadha salah can one read one ayah per rakah, eg. the starting ayaats of Surah Baqarah, is it sufficient to recite 1 ayah which runs into 1 or 1.5 lines?
Q: If one makes a mistake in the Qiraat of fardh salaah which did not change the meaning, what should be done?
Q: I read Suratul Kawthar reading the letter "th" with a letter "sin" does that break salaah? I read in a fatwa that it does, true or wrong?
Q: In my 'Asr Salaah I recited a verse of Surah Faatihah and whilst reciting I thought I made a mistake, and thought I'd repeat that verse and I didn't
stop reciting until I finished the verse, and then I recited again, but during the verse in which I thought I made a mistake, I was like “Shouldn't I stop?" But I carried on until finishing that verse; now I wonder, does this count as a purpose addition in prayer by finishing the verse in which I thought to have made a mistake? And is my Salaah valid?
Q: First rakat of ishaa I said 'Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem' but then I don't know whether I said the ha or HA with 'Ar-Raheeem'. I chose to ignore it as a doubt. During Salah I made many mistakes and corrections in the essential aspects - then after completing the prayer [all four rakaats] I ended prayer and did two sujood uh sahw. I went downstairs to get a drink, came back up then I still had the niggling doubt about whether I said ha or HA in 'Ar-Raheem' so I thought like you know it hasn't been a long time since I made Salaam so I said takbir and performed 1 rakaat in replacement of the rakaat in which I doubted with the full tashahhud and exited prayer and did two prostrations of forgetfulness Now plz tell me is my prayer valid or not?
Q: When one recites Surah Naas in the first rakaat, what should he recite in the second rakaat?
Q: My local imam makes some mistakes sometimes in salaah and I need to know whether these mistakes invalidate the prayer.
Mistake 1) The imam sometimes says hamza/alif Instead of saying ein for reciting quran, does this invalidate the prayer?
Mistake 2) For the name of Allah, Al-Quddus in the quran, the imam changes the seen into a saad-does this invalidate the prayer?
