Q: I have a medical condition that has me in continuous pain. At times, due to the medication as well as the pain, I lose count of my rakaats read in Salaah. To be safe I read an extra rakaat when I’m not sure as well as make sajdah sahw. Is there anything else I can or should do?
Q:
1. I would like to know what are the attributes of a person being imam and leading salaah?
2. Can a haafidh who is known to exploit and be dishonest or is a substance abuser lead salaah; fardh or taraweeh salaah?
Q: During salah, I frequently forget any fardh and due to which I do sajda e sahw, am I correct?

Q: Can a musaafir pray in Masjid-e-Namirah and Masjid-e-Khair during hajj , as the imaam there offers only 2 rakaats irrespective of whether he is a muqeem or a musaafir as their madhab says to read only 2 rakaats during hajj?
Q:
1. A musaafir read four rakaats salaah unknowningly and after a couple of days he corrected it to two rakaats. Will his salaah be valid?
2. A musaafir read two rakaats but someone told him to read 4 rakaats and due to confusion, he reads four rakaats. Does the first salaah count and will the second salaah which was read as four rakats be regarded as nafl?
Q: This Ramadhaan, Alhamdulillah we have had many Hufaadh leading us in Taraweeh Salaah all over the world. Some with great Qiraat and beautiful recitations.
However in a masjid that we were praying at, a Hafidh was leading us in taraweeh salaah. The said Hafidh is a businessman, but a known exploiter of his employees and also has dishonesty in his dealings. Is our Salaah behind him counted or should we reperform our Salaah.
What advice can we give to trustees of the Masjid regarding this?
Q: Can one pray nafl salah after having prayed sunnah salah if time permits before the jamaat for the fardh salah starts?
