Hanafi Imaam reciting bismillah aloud in Salaah
Q: Is it permissible for a Hanafi Imaam to recite Bissmillah aloud during his Salaah?
Salaah
Joining the Salaah while the Imaam is coming up from ruku
Q: I joined the Asr salaah when the Imam was coming up from ruku in the second rakaat. While he was coming up from ruku I joined the Salaah and went into ruku by accident. At the end of the salaah, I stood up and completed two rakaats and made sajda-e-sahw. Is the Salaah valid?
Sitting and performing Salaah in a coal mine
Q: I work on a coal mine, where the roof is not high enough to allow one to stand up straight. We work morning shift for a week and night shift the next week. Dhuhr is delayed until returning to surface when working morning shift, however salaah is performed underground when working afternoon shift. As one is required to stand upright, is it required to a) sit and pray (and then repeat the parayer when on surface) or b) stand and pray (even though one stands slightly crouched)?
Doubting how many rakaats one performed
Q: It sometimes happens that while offering four rakaats namaz, I get confused whether I am in the third or fourth rakaat, so I either pray the whole namaz again or conclude that I am offering the third rakaat and offer one more rakaat, do sajdah-e-ahw and finish my namaaz. I want to know if I get confused regarding the rakaat, then what has to be done?
Imaam writing taweez for people
Q: If the Imaam of a musjid writes taweezes and gives people taweezes , then is his salaah valid and is the salaah of those who perform salaah behind him valid?
Joining the Imaam in sajdah
Q: I have a very simple question. If I reach late for the salaah and the imam is in sujood, can I join him? I know the rakaat will not be completed but can I join?
Ensuring that the satr does not become exposed during Salaah
Q: Is salaah acceptable if the trouser of a man is going very low from the back but the line between the buttocks is not visible?
Salaah behind an Imaam who wears his pants below his ankles
Q: Is salaah valid if the Imam is wearing pants below his ankles and don't have a beard?
Making qadha for missed Salaahs
Q: I received this message from a friend of mine asking for clarity about this fatwa from another site.
Forgetting to make sajdah-e-tilaawah in salaah
Q: If a person misses sajdah-e-tilaawah while performing salaah e.g. he was reciting a surah which had a verse of sajdah, but he did not remember to perform the sajdah, is he required to repeat the salaah?
