Q: Let's suppose we are offering zuhr namaz or any other namaz as a muqtadi in the mosque behind the Imaam. In the second rakat when we get up from the first rakat do we have to say the "Tasmia"in the start of second rakat?
Q: I am offering namaz as a muqtadi in the mosque. I want to know that at the start of the prayer when we say "Allah hu Akbar" do we have to say "Sanna" only or do we have to say "Ta'awwuz" and "Tasmia" as well after the "Allah hu Akbar"?
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: While reading salah, is it necessary to read thana at the beginning of salaah?
Q: I normally read the esha prayers at the masjid and then come home and delay the sunnah and 3 witr until after midnight. Is it okay to read it so late? If not what is the latest time it can be read?
Q:
1. When starting salah, do your hands have to be facing qiblah?
2. Will salah be valid if you start salah with your hands facing inward towards your head? One time my imam for salatul jumuah started salah and I think his hands were facing inward. What should I do in such a situation if my jumuah is invalid and I am going to have to wait for second jumuah or go catch jumuah at another masjid?
Q: When you perform salaah, when doing takbeer to start, should we look up or down? And after raising from rukuand saying "samirallahhulimanhamida", some says you have to say "allahumma rabbanawakalhamd" and others only "rabbana lakalhamd"? Which one is correct according to sunnah? And is it obligatory to say it? If i did not say it, are all my prayers invalid?
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. If a person is a Haafiz, is it permissible for him to recite the Qur'an in front of everybody without a topi?
2. Can he lead the namaaz?
Q: If a person has been put forward for imaamat and he finds that closing his eyes and performing the salaah especially the qiraat will help him to relax and not to become stressed whereby he would make mistakes, is this permissible?
