Q: While travelling in a car, my family prayed the obligatory namaz sitting in the car. Later I found out that sitting while being able to stand invalidates namaz. It was also raining heavily so is the prayer valid as it was done out of ignorance or should I tell my family to repeat those prayers?
If they have to repeat it, should it be prayed as qasr?
Q: Before I used to pray and then I stopped praying. Now I started again and I was wondering what can I do for the missed prayers?
If I repent, pray the sunnah and ask for forgiveness will I be forgiven and enter Jannah?
Q: How many rakaats are the sunnah muakkadah salaah? Can you explain to me the various sunnah muakkadah salaah that are performed with the fardh and what are the virtues of performing them?
Q: Today, my Moulana told us that if we did not read the full 12 rakaats of Zuhr Salaah, then we should go and read it. I had only read the 4 fardh and I was rushing a lot. We were writing our Jamiatul Ulama exams so I thought that if I go to read the sunnats, then I will have less time to write the paper, so I lied to my Ustaad and did not go to read the sunnats. Now I am feeling bad for deceiving and lying to my Ustaad. Will I be sinful if I leave out performing the sunnats?

Q:
1. My menstruation cycle is regular in the sense that I have 14 clean days, 1 day istihaza and 10 days haiz. It's the same every time. So it starts at 4.43pm. I am usually always alert about performing my asr salaah before the time of haiz starts. Unfortunately today I was unwell earlier and had to sleep and over slept and only awoke after the time of haiz began. Will this asr Salaah be considered as qaza?
2. As a saahib tartib if I make ghusl and I have only enough time to perform the fard salaah and not the qazaa. When do I read the qazaa?
Q: Is not covering the feet below the ankles for woman against sunnah? I have severe waswasa and I found out that except for Hanafi's, others consider the feet as awrah. Are my prayers invalid as I didn't cover it after knowing about the ruling. Why do Hanafi's not consider the feet as awrah. I feel scared that my namaz isn't valid. What should I do?
Q: I recite dua in jalsah (sitting between 2 sajdahs) as per hadith "Allahum magfirli warhamni wajburni warfaani wahdini wa aafini warzuqni". I like to add these words to this dua "wa aauzu bika min kulli balaa id-duniya wa azaabil aakhirah".
I would like to know if adding these words in the dua is permissible or not?
Q: Due to my slowness in reciting the tasbeeh in the last qadah, the imam almost always makes salam before I can complete my supplication which has to be done after Durood. Please advise what I should do. Please note that the slowness is due to my adherence to tajweed rules in the durood and at-tayiyat.
