Salaah

Q: If there is a tv in a room, can salaah be performed in the same room? If the tv is at the back of the room and the volume is on mute, what would then be the ruling for the salaah to be accepted. 

Q: How should a new Muslim perform salaah if he/she does not know any verses of the Holy Qur'aan?

Q: I am living in Saudi Arabia and I am a Hanafi. Somebody told me that my prayers behind the Saudi Imams are void because of difference of wuzoo, because of their small beards (not one fist as required), because of the salaah timing, because they are shafi or hambali or wahabi. So they insist that I repeat all my 8 years of prayers. What is the fatwa? 

Q: I want to know that what should be the correct timing to pray ishraq prayer? How much time after fajar aazan can we perform it?

Q: One day I was leading three people in zuhr prayer. In my second last rakaat I felt like something was coming out from my private part. I still continued with the prayer. After I finished I went to the toilet and I found it was mazi. I came back after I washed myself and made wudhu but the people we prayed together with were gone. I don't know where to find them because it was a market where we prayed. I don't know them at all. I then observed the prayer alone again. So what should I do about them?

Q: What is the ruling regarding praying behind an Imam considering the Imaam shaves his beard and his pants are below his ankles? What should we do in this condition?

Q: For as long as I can remember I've never prayed regularly. Now I'm starting to realize my mistake and I want to start praying regularly. Whenever I pray, I don't get the satisfactory feeling that I'm hoping to get.

Could you please tell me how can I start praying regularly? Is there any dua for it? How to get protection from Shaytan so that he doesn't hinder in my salah? I really want to start praying 5 times a day.

Q: In Ssaudi the Adhaan is given at the very moment the salah time enters. In India, except for maghrib, there is a delay in the Adhaan being given for all the other 4 salah. The delay varies from places. Suppose Bangalore Asr time sets in at 4.04 pm but Adhaan is called at 4.30 and jamaat starts at 4.45 pm.

My question is, should the sunnah be offered after Adhaan or can one offer the sunnah once the time of the salah enters even before the Adhaan is called out?

Q: A few weeks ago an email was sent under the heading azkaar after salaah. It mentions putting the hands on the head and reading for the removal of worry and grief. Can Mufti saheb please send me that azkaar. 

Q: In the Holy Mosques of Makkah and Madinah, outside the mosques, there are big verandas (open space). It is seen that the people walk in these verandas with their footwear on.

1. Can we pray on the floor without a prayer mat?

2. Will our salah be valid?
