Q: Please can you advise what should the followers do if an Imam
1. Reads an extra rakaat in salaah and they are aware of this?
2. Should they correct him (if so please advise how) or remain silent?
3. does the namaaz have to be repeated?
4. Misses a ruku or sajdah?
Q: I rush from work to catch Asr salaah. I normally get there when salaah has already started. If I make sunnah wudhu, I will miss jamaaat. If I make fardz wudhu, I can catch jamaat with still one or two rakaats. Should I make sunnah or fardz wudhu in this case?
Q: Last Friday I was offering my jumma Salaah in a newly built musjid. I reached a little late but before the sermon started. I was sitting on the 1st floor of the musjid as the ground floor was fully occupied. When the prayer started, in between the speaker stopped working and we were not able to hear the Imaam so few men started calling out for the indication called the takbeer. The place where we were performing Salaah there were few adult brothers and 15-20 childrens of 10-12 years of age. As for the indication few men were calling the takbeer and the children found it too good so they were also shouting the same but at some point it happened we were not able to hear the men's call but the children's call was highly audible as it was louder than the men because the men were on the ground floor and we were few with the children. We didn't know what was going on as to what position the Imaam was in. At last the children said As salamualaikum wa rahmatullah the last 2 words in namaz and we ended our namaz but as we peeped out of the window the Imaam was still in Salaah so basically we ended before the Imaam and we have to re-pray but my question is when we ended our namaaz and Imaam was still in namaaz and we have to repeat it, so can we again join the same namaaz as the Imaam was in the last stage of namaaz but it was not ended?
Q: If an imam performed Salaah in a time and he is in janaabat and he knows that he is in janaabat but still he became Imam and performed the Salaah, and he did this many times like more than 100 times and for different prayers, so now if he wants to make tauba but he still can't tell those people that repeat their Salaah because actually he also don't have any count of prayers so if he did tauba is there any possibility that Allah Ta'ala will forgive him?
Q: Who should lead the salaah? A hafiz of the quran who has a nice voice, but who trims his beard under the required length and who's robes flows under his ankles, or someone who isn't hafiz but is righteous adheres to the Sunnah? If the first leads the salaah should one repeat the salaah?
Q: In todays measurements of kilometers, what is the minimum distance a person has to be from the musjid for salaah to become fard on him in the musjid. In other words, when will it be permissible for him to perform salah at home.
Q: I just want to ask, in our place I am the only one who follows the way of Imaam Abu hanifa on how he prays and the rest they pray like Imaam Shafi'ee, is that ok?
Q: In Mecca, inside Safwa Towers there is a very large prayer area (with its own sound system, recitation coming direct from the Haramain Sharifain Imam). Does this area come under the precinct of the Haramain? In other words, do I get the same reward as praying inside the Haramain Sharifain as praying in the Safwa Towers’ prayer area?
Q: I live just more than 4.9 km from the nearest Masjid. Am I sinful in not attending the Masjid for Salaah?
Q: During Ramdhaan in the Haramain both at Makkah and Madinah they conduct Tahajjud namaaz in Jamaath during the last 10 days from 1 am to 2.30 am. Following this now a days the same method is being followed in mosques in our country (India) as well and also women participate in this congregation but of course in a enclosure segregated for women. Also now a days women attend Jummah namaaz in mosques on a regular basis. Please give your expert option on these two issues.
