salaah

Q:

1. What is tadeel-e-arkaan?

2. Does leaving out tadeel-e-arkaan during salaah cause sajda-e-sahw to become waajib or not?

Q: When we move from one posture to the next posture, should we stretch the takbeer e.g. when we stand up from sajda to go to qiyaam for the next rakaat, must we pull the takbeer?

Q:

1. How women must lift her hands during the first takbeer – close to the middle section of her bosom or close to the area near armpits where bosom part starts? Takbeer must be said after hands are up, not during lifting them up, is it correct?

2. When we say takbeer in salaah (women salah) we immediately go to next posture and we finish saying takbeer only after reaching it. How to deal with mistakes that happen sometimes with this, when we are too fast either to say takbeer or to reach the posture or we are just the opposite, to slow? Do we have to repeat salaah or make sajda-sawh or ignore this? I have some salahs where I made such mistakes, what to do about those salahs, repeat them or not?

Q: I read your book about women's salah, may Allah bless you for your work, ameen. Some moments I didn’t understand. Could you please explain them to me insha Allah?

1. Hadeeth that explains that during sajda women don’t have to keep feet upright, but feet must be placed on right hand side. I don’t understand it exactly? Do we have to lean on left side during sajda to make our feet be on the right side? If not upright then how exactly, could you please explain in detail in shaa Allah?

2. Hadeeth that says arms must be closed to thighs during sajda – I understand it, but I don’t see here a statement that elbows must be on the ground too, because we can keep arms close to thighs, but still lift the elbows up from the ground? Or I am not thinking correctly? Please kindly explain it to me in shaa Allah as I am a simple Muslim and in no way qualified to interpret hadeeth. If I continue lifting elbows up, will my salahs be void, in shaa Allah?

3. There is nothing mentioned about Rabbigfirli in jalsah, don’t women say this supplication? I say it 2 times in between 2 sajdas, is this correct in shaa Allah?

4. In Jalsah some say that a big finger of a right feet has to face qibla, is it correct?

Q: I am required to travel to work over 150 km a day monday to friday for two months. I have no intention of staying at that location. Am I considered a musaafir and what is the ruling for jummah. The masjids are extremely far from work approximatly 35km as I am based at a construction site. If I am a musaafir, is it incorrect to read the full salaah?

Q: My father passed away 20 days ago. Alhamdollilah Allah Ta'ala gave me a lot of saber and I did not cry in front of anyone. But every time I pray namaz I just automatically cry. I don't know why this happens. I try so hard to control myself because I am scared that shaitan maybe making me cry. Is it ok to cry in namaaz?

Q: As I live in a city and because of the buildings, I can't always see the sky openly. How can I determine that time when salah is forbidden? Is there any trustful program to use, do you know one? I hope it is the one that shows time as salah calendar as I don’t always have wifi on at home? And also, if I didn’t make my fard yet and the forbidden time started, can I still make my salah if I see that due to some reasons I will miss it - like toilet is busy, water is going to be off, etc? How sinful is it to make salah at this time? Also, if I start salah some minutes prior to this time and ended it when this time has started, do I have to repeat my salah?

Q: How will a Hanafi muqtadi follow a shaafi or hambali etc in their witr salaah?
