Q: I am staying in a hostel and doing my 1st year college. When I come home for the weekend, I offer salaah as a musaafir by offering 2 rakaats zuhr, 2 rakaats asr, 3 rakaats maghrib and 2 rakaats isha. My house is 177 km away from the hostel. Is it right? How many km should it be for me to be a musaafir?
Q: I read in tafseer Ibn kathir that Surah Fateha has seven verses in it and there are some Hadith also there in that tafseer from two sahihs that Bismillahir rahman nir Raheem is a first verse of Surah Fateha. There are only seven verses in Surah Fateha. Now, I saw in Sahih Bukhari Narrated From Anas bin Malik (radhiyallahu anhu): Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) and 'Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) used to start the prayer with "Alhamdulillahi rabbil aala min" Vol-1,book 12, number 710. ( Sahih Bukhari-- characteristics of prayer). Now, what should we start the prayer with?
Q: Please can you tell me if my salah is valid if I forgot to say takbeer after the first tashahud and did not perform sajdah sahw.

Q: If a person misses zuhur salaah intentionally and it is time for asr. So can he make up zuhur prayer after asr or before asr?.I asked this to scholar and read on islamqa.com which says it is a difference of opinion. The most sound opinion is it is not permissible to make up as qazaa salaah. I see a lot of people in India making up missed prayer after the time has passed but I tell them it is not permissible and they argue. Please explain.
Q: What is the view of giving azaan in new born children's ears, is it proven in the Hadith?

Q: If I miss saying "Aameen" when the Imam finishes Surah Faatihah, will it affect my namaz?
Q: The one who doesn't pray salaah at all intentionally but believes it is obligatory is he a Kaafir.I see most of the well known scholars say this like ibn baz,ibn uthyameein from saudi arabia but i have seen some who say that he is not as long as he believes in shahada,etc.
