Salaah

Q: Does a person start counting the distance for a musaafir from their suburb or town border because I was told that some ulama say it has changed to suburb?

Q: On page 194 beheshti zewar English, #4, it says, the spot on which sajdah will be made should not be more than half a metre higher than feet. However page 165 #7 mentions the same maslah but says one span is the distance. Is the correct distance one span or half a metre?

Q: I would like to ask, if I made one sajda only by mistake and forget the second one, is my prayer valid? I heard that the first sajda is fardh only and the other is mustahab.

Q: If a person has completed the Salaah on the plane, sitting on his seat, it says in Fataawa that this person will repeat his Salaah after. But if he comes to his house before the end of the time of Salaah, he will repeat two or four rakaats?

Q: I have unfortunately have been diagnosed with genital herpes and oral herpes. I read on websites that it can spread through the skin even if there is no sore or fluid. What should I do in terms of praying Salaah because I touch my face and then touch the carpet? How should my contact with people be and what happens if I spread the disease to others. Do I get a sin for that? What do I do to all the people that I had spread the disease to previously due to handshakes (if even the disease spreads that way), sharing food and other ways?

Q: After the fard prayer, some imams make dua in congregation while some do not. Some people say it is bida to raise the hands after fard prayer in congregation. But according to a hadith I read, after fard prayer, it is one of the best time to make dua. So, according to Sunnah, what should be done after fard prayer?

Q: After fard prayer, do you have to send salutation on Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) by reading the durood shareef? Every masjid do that but when I am doing research, in no place it is mentioned that after fard prayer, you have to send blessings on Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) (i.e Allahumma swaliraswayyidinamuhammadinwwaralaalimuhammadinwwabaarikwasallim)? Or is it that they do this because they make the congregational dua after that because durood should be recited before making dua? According to my knowledge, after fard prayer, you have to read ayat ul kursi, tasbeen e fatihi and make your own dua and some but this recitation of durood is confusing.
