Salaah

Q: An old person cannot get up easily from sajdah. He takes support by leaning on the ground/holding a chair next to him.

Is the above better or should he rather sit on a chair for sajdah?

Q: Due to being unwell, a person performs Salaah sitting on a chair:

1. In such a case, how does he perform the ruku and sajda? Does he lower only his head OR his entire upper body?

2. For the sajdah, does he have to extend his hands further than his knees, creating a "place of sajdah"?

Q: When performing qadha salaat (qadha umri) at home, do I need to recite Iqamat?

The qadha salaah that I was offering was not missed by me in the first instance. I had offered them but later it transpired that those salaat were not valid. For such salaah, should I recite iqamat when performing it at home?

Q: What is the ruling regarding the Sunnat Salaah? I see it where people do not perform the Sunnat Salaah at all. They understand that as long as the Fardh Salaah is done, the obligation of Salaah is complete.

Please advise as to how to best address this.

Q: Is azaan mandatory in a small office mosque where 2 or 3 jamaat prayers are held and not all? The above mentioned mosque has no speakers, no fixed imam and muazzin, whenever multiple people come then they pray in jamaat.

Q: A late comer joins me in salaah while I'm performing my sunnah salaah. Is it permissible for me to change my intention of performing sunnah salaah alone to performing in jamaat?

Q: Can sajdah shukr be done immediately and openly.

Q: Can Mufti Saheb please explain if a sutrah is needed in a large room that is not a musjid, e.g. The tents in Arafah, a hall, etc.

Also, when reading salaah alone at home, should one put a sutrah in front?

Q: How thick may a musallah (prayer mat) be? I bought a thick musallah (prayer mat) and I want to know that when performing sajdah on it, should the head and nose feel the earth or carpet below it (prayer rug) in order for the sajdah to be valid?

Q: Can I offer namaaz while wearing glasses?
