Q: It takes our imam a bit long to go into sajdah, standing up from sajdah, etc. So what happens, for example, is that after qaumah, as the Imam goes down into sajdah, he says Allahu Akbar, and we also go into sajdah, but some of us reach sajdah before him. Is his and our salaah valid? Should we request him to rather try and do his postures slightly faster? I think it is because of his weight problem.
Q: In a maghrib salaah, if I join the jamaat in the third rakat, the next two rakats do I have to recite a surah after surah fatiha? Do I have to sit in tashahud in both the remaining rakats? Similarly, how do I do it in isha if I joined in the last rakat?
Q: My house is about one bus stop away from the mosque, which is about 10 mins walk. So, when I'm home, I do the salaah at home and sometimes go to the mosque. Please advise.
Q: I actually belong to India (hanafi) but I've been living in Singapore for the last 4 years because I work here and it is shafii fiqh followed here. So, are my prayers valid behind an Imaam of another mazhab? And there would be a slight variation in the salaah in fajr here to as of what we do back in India.
Q: Is a person's wife being scared i.e when left alone at home, (so scared that if there was some noise on the roof she would duck down on the floor) a valid excuse for the husand not attending jamaat salaah in the musjid eg. fajr salaah?
Q: If there is a resident Imaam of a Masjid, who adheres to the Sunnah outwardly and by Mazhab he is a Hanafi and another Imaam from outside who it seems as though trims his beard is a Shafi/Maaliki. The question is that can the Second Imaam who is not the resident Imaam be allowed to lead the Eid Salaah on the basis that the crowd that attends the Eid Gaah is generally Shafi/Maaliki? If not then will the sin of appointing him to lead the Eid Salaah be on the board members? As the resident Imaam had informed them that the sin will be on their shoulder and not his. Is this statement correct?
Q: After reading namaaz behind a barelvi who believes that Rasullullah Alayhis Salaam is hazir nazir as he reads assalamualayka Ya Rasulullah, should one repeat the Salaah?
Q: During the last 10 days of Ramadan brothers in our Masjid Perform Qiyum-ul-layl (Tahajud) in congregation. Would like to know if this is permissible, if not then what should we do if you are doing Itikhaff in the masjid. One scholar told has that Deoband has given a special permission to perform Tahajud in Congregation during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
Q: Would the muqtadis salaah be invalid if the muqtadi hears the imam say takbeer and goes into sajdah after hearing takbeer but makes it into sajdah slightly before the imam due to imams slow movements. Would the prayer be invalid or maqrooh if this happened?
Q: Would the prayer be invalid if the muqtadi goes into ruku or sajdah say the imam is saying takbeer and moving to ruku or sajdah but the muqtadi makes it to ruku or sajdah before him and the takbeer isnt finished due to the imam saying it so slowly?
