Q: I read somewhere that you cannot lift your foot in prayer and it invalidates the prayer. But when I stand up from the sitting or prostration posture, I need to adjust my feet so that I am again facing qibla directly (my body seems to be a bit lost of the previous position). I heard it invalidates prayer. Hence if I am very slightly not facing qibla, I would just not lift my feet to adjust it. What should I do?
Q: I know that one should read longer Qiraat in the first rakat than the second rakat and that one should not skip an in-between Surah between rakats unless the rakat one skips is long. This applies to Fard salaah. My questions are:
1. What is meant by "long" Qiraat? Is this the number of lines or the number of ayaat?
2. Does the Qiraat have to get progressively shorter for the nafl and Sunnah rakats of Sunnat-e-Muakkadah and Sunnat-e-Ghair-Muakkadah as well?
3. Can you skip an in-between Surah in the Nafl and Sunnah salaah?
Q: I heard that when reading Surah Fatihah, you need to make the sound of the “dal” in “wa lad-daaalleen” longer, till 6 seconds. However, it is difficult for me to count how many seconds and often I finish it in 3 second or so. Is my prayer valid even if I do it deliberately because I can’t count seconds when reciting?
Q: If a girl is wearing a huge ball gown for her wedding which is such that it is difficult for her to make sajdah in it due to the many layers, will it be permissible for her to perform one salaah sitting on a chair?
Q: I made a vow to read two rakaats of salaah everytime I do a certain sin and double the amount of salaah if I do it again. I'm doing this in order to help me completely leave the sin out. I want to know, when I read this salaah, can I make two intentions in one? Example, I read this salaah at tahajjud time so I also make intention for tahajjud.
Q: I have a friend who has a liver and kidney failure. She prays salaah laying on the bed because she can't move a lot. She said that in the middle of the prayer she suddenly sleeps before completing the prayer. Now the question is, is it possible to pray 2 rakat instead of four?
Q: Do we need to recite surahs in order as per the Quran Majeed?
If a person doesn't know this ruling before and afterwards he comes to know it, he recites in order, what is the ruling on this?
Q: We travelled from India on 4th Aug 4pm and reached our hotel in Makkah on 5th 00:30. We calculated our stay as 14 days (5 to 18) and we had intention that on 18th night or 19th morning we will leave for Mina. We left for Mina 19th morning 03:00am. We came back to Makkah on 23rd evening and stayed till 4th Sep. We offered qasar all in Makkah and during haj and then after coming from Haj as our stay at Makkah was not 15 days before leaving Mina and even after coming back from Haj it was not 15 days. Is it correct?
Few people calculate Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifa stay as in Makkah only, so as per them it is 30 days in Makkah and we should offer full salah. Is it correct?
Q: In some coutries, ulama say that zikr (like Lailaha illahu wahdehu la shareeka lehu... zal jadda minkal jadd) which is done after prayers with loud voice is sunnah. We have never heard our ulama or Imamas in Pakistan doing zikr after prayers with audible voice. Can you please guide what is Sunnah?
