Salaah

Q: If I miss one or two rakats of jamaat salaah, will I get the reward of jamaat salaah? Till what stage of salaah if one joins will he get the reward of jamaat? 

Q: Is it permissible to sit and pray nafl salah even if one is physically fit. I see lot of people who are doing hard physically challenging work but when it comes to prayer, they sit and offer the sunnah prayers in dhuhur maghrib and eesha.

Q: I want to ask whether the sutra (a thing placed in front of a person performing namaaz) can be a glass. In our masajid, there are doors made of glass and the saffs are made on either side. So will it be allowed to cross while there is glass of exact or greater dimensions mentioned in shariah?

Q: If someone doesn’t usually pray and just prays in front of people because if he doesn’t people will mock him, is it major shirk?

Q: It is sunnah for women to offer salah at home. However, when performing tawaaf, if the time of salaah enters, then should she read it with jamaat behind the imaam in the haram? After the salaah ends, many women are offering individual salaah. Is there a sin if I walk infront of them? There is too much of a rush so one cannot wait for all the women to finish salaah. What should one do in this situation?

Q: If ladies are following the imam in a separate area from the men, does the imam still have to make niyyat for their imamat for their salah to be valid? Behishti zewar suggests that even if the imam doesn't make niyyat, their salah will be correct, in the situation where they won't be coming next to the men.

Q: I leave work before maghrib and on my way home maghrib prayer time enters. I cannot offer maghrib when the time enters and only offer maghrib prayers just before Esha prayer. Is it allowed to offer maghrib prayer before Esha if you dont offer it on time?

Q:

1. Can we skip surahs in between in salah? If not, for which salah (fardh or sunnat) can we skip surahs. Example, can I read Surah “Al-Kafirun” then skip Surah “An-Nasr” then recite Surah “Al-Masad” in first and second rakat.

2. How many surah's can we skip in between in Salah?

Q: I have a few questions regarding a late comer joining salaah:

1.Is it important to recite sana once you standup to complete your prayer?

2. What if sana was recited when the person joined in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rakaat

3. Due to misunderstanding and following someone, if a person follows a different procedure to complete the missed rakaats in salaah for a couple of years and now he comes to know correct Hanafi procedure, will his passed salaahs be valid?

4. Is the below procedure correct as per Hanafi mazhab: If a person joins jamaat salaah and says salaam at the end of the 2nd rakaat and after salam he stands up and doesnt read sana and treats this rakat as the 4th rakaat. He only recites surah fatiha and completes his salah. Is his salaah valid or does he have to stand up recite sana, surah fatiha and a surah to complete his salah?

Q: What are the different tasbeehat that we can recite in sujood besides سبحان ربي الأعلى?
