Salaah

Q: Will a woman be allowed to wear a long dress or long skirt to read salaah?

Q: Can I pray in leggings if my top ends a few inches above my ankles?

Q: If the imaams pants are below his ankles and your pants are above the ankles, is my prayer valid?

Q:

1. Can one pray istikhaarah (for marriage) while on menstruation?

2. Is a good feeling a sign of a positive istikhaarah?

Q: I would like to know what is the ruling on this particular case:

1. When a pregnant woman's water has broken and she has a bloody show, is salaah that she did not make yet now need to be made up?

2. Women were also advising another pregnant woman that until the baby's head has partly come out, she must make salaah that is due at that time as well as if dilation has been checked she must make ghusl (if she needs to make salaah) as the nurse/doctor has put their fingers inside. What is the correct view?

Q: If a musaafir mistakenly leads a congregation in Zuhr Salaah for an entire week whilst performing 4 rakaats, and only realizes after that, then what is the status of the other musaafirs' Salaahs - those who performed salaah behind such an Imam?

Will their Salaah be valid/complete due to the passing of time?

Q: While performing salaah, if I stand for qiyaam and do ruku in a normal manner, but I sit on a chair and perform my sajdah and jalsah, is my salaah valid? This is not due to any physical ailment.

Q:

1. If one is diagnosed with Covid, should he isolate and read his salaah at home, or should he go to the masjid if he is affected mildly (i.e. body strength, very light cough, and fever, minor difficulty in breathing, etc.)?

2. If a person who is Covid positive and goes to the masjid and the other musallis are aware that he is positive, will he then be sinful for inconveniencing Muslim brothers as unfortunately not everyone is comfortable being around the sick these days?

Q: If a woman is one month pregnant, can she perform salaah on a chair for the safety of the baby?

Q: I find it hard to motivate myself to do what is right for me and my religion.

Example, I wake up three consecutive days and pray tahajjud. After that I am unable to even wake up. The same applies to the five times Salaah and seeking knowledge. I become lazy and end up forfeiting all these acts of virtues for a long period of time. When I do end up starting again, I do it for another three days and leave it again. I wish to be consistent in Allah's obedience and worship.
