Salaah

Q: What should I do if I forget how many rakʿāt I’ve performed during prayer?

Q: My husband passed away last year. The total of his missed salaah in his lifetime is 29 132. He asked that this be paid from his estate. If I cannot afford to pay this amount, what should I do?

Q: I have been on holiday for 10 days so I've been reading Qasr salaah and was supposed to leave back home on the 14th day. I've decided to stay on another week. Do I continue reading Qasr salaah or I have to start reading full salaah.

Q: I plan on travelling for holiday oversees for 20 days. I will be staying by family in a city but I will be travelling to other cities as well during the 20 days. Should I read qasr salaah or full salaah?

Q: Please advise how to soften my heart. I recently cannot cry. No matter how afraid I am of my sins and meeting Allah Ta'ala, I cannot cry when making dua. If it's my medication, do I stop it? What if I battle without my medication? At the same time, I'm worried about becoming hard hearted. 

I also cannot concentrate at all in my salaah. How do I become a better Muslim?

Q: I read in one of your fatwas that if a person is unable to pray standing in a plane and therefore prays seated, they must repeat the salah later on. Is this because 

* The first salah was invalid - so that they should intend qada when they repeat it? 

* Or was the first salah valid (i.e. fulfilled the fard) and the second one just a repetition of it in a more perfect manner?

Q: Our area masjid is closed due to renovation. We now perform Salah at two temporary venues. We have one azan that is given from the masjid that is closed, and no azan from the temporary musallahs. 

Is this correct? What is the status of azan?

Q: Regarding duaas in sujood, can one make any duaa in sujood or does it have to from the Quraan?

Q: 

1. During Salah, while I am reciting a surah or something else, must I stop reciting to breathe in or out through my mouth and then continue or can I keep on reciting while I take a breath? 

2. The same question as above for yawning.

Q: Is Sajdatus-sahw necessary if someone recited Quran after rising from ruku'?
