Sunnah qiraat amount in salaah
Q: Is there any qawl amongst the ulama which stats that the sunnat qiraat in salaah is not which surahs are recited but rather the amount recited?
Qiraat
Length of one long aayat for qiraat in salaah to be valid
Q: Besides reading a complete Surah or atleast three ayaats of the Quaran after Suratul-Fatiha in salaat, I understand one long ayaat can instead too be read. But how long should the ayaat be and on what basis is the length calculated?
Which long ayaats (if any) are generally deemed preferable to read?
Obtaining the virtue of reciting Surah Sajdah and Surah Dahr in the Fajr Salaah on a Friday
Q: With regards to Friday Fajr salaah: If I read Surah Sajdah in 2 rakaats one week, and the next week read Surah Dahr in 2 rakaats, will I get the fadheelat of the sunnah? Because the musallees are old, and they do not like to read long salaah. For this reason, can I get the reward for the sunnah?
If there's no sunnah reward for this, then how can I get the sunnah reward?
Repeating the same surah in salaah
Q: Can I repeat the same Surah in each rakaat of salaah?
Pausing after each aayat in salaah
Q: Is salaah valid if someone does not pause after every aayat of a surah?
Reciting qiraat audibly and inaudibly in salaah
Q: If one was reading the qira'ah in salaah with an audible voice, then read without moving the lips a few times, will the salaah be invalid?
Reciting Bismillah when starting qiraat in the middle of a surah
Q: In salaah, after reciting Surah Faatiha, if a person is reading from the middle of a surah, is it preferable to read bismillah or not to read bismillah.
Imaam making a mistake in qiraat where the meaning of the verse changes
Q: If a Shaafi Imaam makes a major mistake in salaah which changes the meaning completely, what will happen to our salaah as Hanafis? And is there any difference whether we know about it or not?
Repeating a verse that was skipped during salaah
Q: A person was praying Fajr Salaah, and during recitation of a surah, she felt that one verse of the surah being recited got skipped. So she repeated the surah again in the same rakaah.
1. Is the salaah valid?
2. Should the surah be recited again in the same rakaah if a person notices that an aayah got skipped?
Mic picking up Imaams voice in silent salaah
Q: If due to sensitivity, the microphone picks up the Imam's voice in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of Zuhr, Asr, Esha and in the 3rd rakaat of Maghrib, does that count as having made Qiraat in a loud voice? Is Sajdah Sahw wajib? Please note that the Imam is not intentionally doing so... He is keeping the voice low but the mic picks it up.
