Q: I live in Durban and Insha Allah will be going for Umrah the next day from Johannesburg. I will be flying from Durban to Johannesburg. If I am making Zohr Salaat at the Durban airport before catching the flight, do I read the full salaat or am I going to make qasr salaat?
Q: A woman wears a long dress and a burka while praying Salah. She is however, not wearing a trouser (her dress is long that covers her legs). Is this ok or does she have to wear a trousers also?
Q: I have a question regarding Ishraaq salaah. I noticed a Hadeeth mention something to the effect that whoever offers the Fajr salaah in congregation and then remains seated, remembering Allah until sunrise, and thereafter he performs two rak’ahs, he will receive the reward of one complete Hajj and one complete Umrah.
My question is directed at the part that says 'remains seated remembering Allah until sunrise'. In our masjid, there is a tafsir program that takes place at the back of the masjid after the salaah is over, so I do not remain seated in the same place. I also drop my father off at home thereafter. Will the reward still be the same if I come back to the masjid afterwards and wait until the sunrise comes to read the Ishraaq Salaah?
Q: We know that praying 8 rakaah in tahajud is sunnah but there is no limit on the number of rakaah.
My question is should we pray these 8 rakaah in pairs of 2 or 4 and if we want to pray in pairs of 4 for example 4+4 is 8 so should we recite another surah after fatiha in the third and fourth rakkah because we know that reciting a surah after fatiha in the third and fourth rakaah is wajib in sunnah e muakadah and ghair e muakadah.
Q: Please can you kindly advise on the following from a Hanafi point of view:
1. Reading Sabina Taraweeh in the Kingdom. Is it permissible to do so?
2. Are we allowed to read Witr in Jamaat in the Kingdom as their method is different?
Q: Is it permissible for a Shaafi to perform Iqamah according to the Hanafi madhab due to the majority of musallees and the imam being Hanafi?
Q: How long should the pause be between Surah Faatiha and a surah in salaah?
Q: I wanted to ask the mas'alah regarding children standing in saffs with the men. I always knew that small boys should stand behind the saffs of the men. However, I have noticed a trend of small boys standing next to their fathers.
It just worries me and I am inconvenienced at these small boys standing beside me in the saff. Please advise and guide as to what is correct according to Shariah.
Q: Most of the time, I feel during Salah, I didn't do sujood or didn't recite Surah Fatiha, or didn't say tashahhud or didn't pray complete rakaats so I most of the time do Sajda Sahw. Am I doing it correct?
Q: After praying Fajr, can we offer nafl or do we have to wait after sunrise?
