Salaah

Q: Does the area starting from the chin need to be covered during salaah for women?

Q: A woman is at some public place (e.g park, bazar, airport) and she has to offer fardh salaah. What will be the correct method:

1. Offer salaah with qiyaam

2. Offer salaah while sitting (omitting qiyaam due to the presence of na mahrams around)

3. Offer first rakaat with qiyaam, while the rest of the rakaats sitting.

Q: What is the fatwa with regards to performing salaah with the social distance protocol during this pandemic of covid 19?

Q: Recently, I came across a clip of someone quoting the following hadith and explaining its great virtues:

عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من قام بعشر آيات لم يكتب من الغافلين، ومن قام بمائة آية كتب من القانتين، ومن قام بألف آية كتب من المقنطرين (سنن ابي داود رقم 1398)

The same person explained further that if one is unable to recite that amount of verses from memory, he may recite them looking inside the Quran Sharif in salaah, be it in nafl or fardh salaah. His argument was the practise of Hazrat Aaisha (radhiyallaahu anha), who would appoint a person by the name of Zakwaan and he would lead her in salaah during the month of Ramadhaan, while reciting from a mushaf.

My questions are:

1. Does this hadith refers to only reciting in salaah or can refer to reciting outside the salaah?

2. Is it permissible to recite looking inside the Quran sharif while in salaah?

3. If is not permissible in the Hanafi mazhab, is there any permissibly for it in the other mazaahib? Under which circumstances will it be permissible (i.e. any difference in the maslah as far as a person who knows some portion of the Quran from memory and who doesn’t know, and any difference between a fardh and nafl salaah)?

4. If a Hanafi performs his salaah behind a person who is reciting looking inside the Quran sharif, will his salaah be valid?

Q: If a sahib e tarteeb person performs 5 times daily salah for months without offering qadha first, will his daily salaahs be accepted?

Q: My doctor recently put a catheter on for me. How do I perform my salaah?

Q: At what age does salaah become compulsory upon a child?

Q: Is it sunnah or nafil for the imaam to turn his face after saying the salaam of the Asr Salaah. Please explan it.

Q: My Quraan teacher for tajweed and tahfeez is in another country and temporarily teaching me over the phone. During this, if Azan is called, do I need to stop or can I continue since my Qaari Sahib will not be aware of the azaan being called out at our place?

Can we continue to see and talk to the patients in clinic or should stop while the azaan is being called out?

Q: I started performing salaah with the imaam and because another person was just there, I stood behind the imaam expecting the other person to join the salaah as well. But that person went to perform wudhu and we completed the whole salaah in this manner.

1. Is my salaah valid?

2. Should I have moved forward to go to the right of imam when I felt the other person will be late?

3. Is moving forward during salah permissible and how much can one walk forward before the salaah becomes invalid?
