Salaah

Q: Is it permissible for someone who is not a Qari (someone well versed in qiraat) to read the different qira'ats (sab'a) while in Salaah. Does it invalidate the Salaat if he does?

Q: According to the Hanafi Mazhab, is it better to perform nawaafil in the home or musjid?

Q: I read that in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of qadha salaah (zuhar, asar, maghrib and esha) you can pray subhaanallah three times instead of Surah faatiha and the Salaah will be valid and you will have fulfilled the right of the Salaah. Is this true?

Q: What is the correct manner of reading the dua after Salaah with regard to reading it loud or soft. Should the dua be made audible (loud) or inaudible (soft)? In our musjid the Imaam starts the duaa loud and reads the first part loud then remains silent and reads the duaa silently, thereafter he reads the ending of the duaa loudly again. Is this correct or is it a bid'a?

Q: If a person misses the first two rakaats of faradh namaaz, the Imam Saheb will recite only Surah Faatiha in the last two Rakats (which the person has attended), should he (the person) recite only Surah Fatihah in his last two rakaats?

Q: If I miss Isha salaah can I perform the Qaza for it on the next day. Similarly for others salaah as well, can it be performed on the next immediate day.

Q: What is the correct way of performing salaam in salaah? Should one stop in the centre in between salaams, or continue without stopping? And after making that second salaam is it necessary to return back to the centre or not?

Q: I am in Oman. When I went to perform my namaz in the musjid I was confused with the way the Imam performed his namaz. The Imaam came and stood on the musallah and without raising his hand up he said allahu akbar and started praying namaz and at the last rakaat the Imaam said only once Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi and moved his head right and left with one salaam. Is my namaz behind this imaam correct? Or what must I do?

Q: When females pray salaah in a sitting position and in sajdah position is it sunnah for them to place the feet towards the right and also place the toes pointing towards the qiblah or it sunnah only to place the feet towards the right and the toes shouldn't face the qiblah? I was told that the toes should also point towards the qiblah but I am unable to find the reference?

Q: I would like to know what defines transparent according to Shar'iah. With regards to the burqa I wear for salaah if I put one layer in front of me I can see through it however when it is on my head the layer that falls in the back makes it dark. So one is unable to see through. Is it permissible to read salaah in such a burqa? If I wear it and stand in front of the mirror I am unable to see the shape of my hair or head in the mirror.
