A special salaat to be performed in the month of Rajab

Q: The following info has been taken from AL-GHUNYA LI TALIBEEN by Abdul Kadir Jeelani(r.a). There is a special salaat to be performed in the month of rajab, this salaat can be performed after maghrib or ishaa, this salatul haajat makes up a total of 30 rakaats, it is read in 3 stages: first 10 rakats are read between the 1st and 10th of rajab. The second 10 between 11th and 20th of rajab, and the last 10 between 21st and 30th of rajab. The niyyah is am reading 2 rakaat salatul haajah O Allah for the sake our master Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with the birth of whom you have illuminated the entire world and the for the sake of your auspicious month rajab grant me relieve from the troubles of this world and the hereafter. Its read in 2 rakaats each in both rakaat you should read allhamdu, 3x suratul kaafirun and 3x suratul ikhlaas, its better if its read on a friday or monday night. So i have read 20 rakaats in the first 20 days but now I have gotten my periods and by the time I'll be paak it will be Shaaban so is it ok if I read the remaining 10 rakaats in the month of Shaaban although in the niyyah it says shaaban?...Because I don't feel like leaving it incomplete.

  2. What is perfect imaan? If I commit a sin does it mean I do not have perfect imaan ?
  3. Can you send me the hadith which says how one can attain perfect imaan through salaam?

Converting Videos of Lectures, Tajweed lessons, etc, into audio format

Q: In my childhood, I promised to my teacher that I will not watch television (T.V). When I started trying to bring Islam in my practical life I realized the importance of promise in Islam. Alhamdulillah I tried to abstain from watching T.V and every kind of videos on internet. Sometimes I want to listen the lectures of religious scholars, learn tajweed/ Aabic or other languages. Being a female I can't go outside easily. Can I convert the video lectures into audio mp3 and then only listen them?
