Intention for Salaah
Q: For Fardh and Wajib Salaahs:
- Is it necessary to state the number of rakaats you are praying? i.e I am praying 3 rakaats maghrib, 2 rakaat fajr etc
- Is it sufficient to just state the salaah i.e I am praying Fajr ,Maghrib etc?
Q: For Fardh and Wajib Salaahs:
Q: I have heard that it is mentioned in the hadith that a lady who reads her salaah at awwal waqt gets the reward of reading salah with jamaat Takbir e oola etc. Is this correct. What about if a lady reads her salaah at the same time as the men in the musjid does she still get this reward? Should one set the salaah times for the ladies in the home in order to get this sawaab?
Q:
Q: My question is about "taqlid after amaal".
If a Hanafi after salaah, finds out his salaah was not valid according to the Hanafi madhab, but it is valid according to for example Hanbali madhab, can he follow that madhab and suffice with salaah he has prayed?
Q: In the Hanafi madhab, if you remain silent (during prayer) for a time period where one can recite "Subhan Allah" 3 times, then it becomes waajib for the person to perform Sajdah Sahw. If, however, the individual did not perform Sajdah Sahw, does he then have to repeat his prayer? What if, in the past, the person did not pay attention to this fact during his prayer, and he now has several prayers where he was required to perform Sajdah Sahw, but he did not do so. Does he have to repeat all those prayers?
Q: When the Azaan is going on, can one continue reading the Quran, is this considered sinful?
Q: After fajr and asar Salah, the Imaam saheb sits facing the muqtadi. Why?
Q: I have heard recently that some Fuqahaa have permitted a certain amount of degrees leeway on either side when facing the qibla. Could you please elaborate on this?
Q: What is the time difference between rakatul fajr and salaatus subhi? Should the sunnah be considered as optional?
Q: What is the method of making salam behind the Imaam in jamaat?
