Best time to read the Witr Salaah
Q: Is it better/more rewarding to read the Witr Salaah with the Esha Salaah or in the early part of the morning (Tahajjud)?
Witr Salaah
Ma'zoor performing the fardh of esha and witr at the end of the salaah time
Q: If I get a wound during Isha and it doesn't cease, am I supposed to pray just the fard or both isha fard and witr near the end of the prayertime (then repeat it if the bleeding stops during fajr)? Because I only see "pray the fard" for madhur/excused person rulings.
Facing the left side and reciting the dua after the witr salaah
Q: Is there any hadith or fiqh'hee ibaarat which states that the dua after Witr Salah (Subhaanal Malikil Quddoos) should be read while a person is still facing the left side upon making the second Salaam?
Performing the witr before going to sleep
Q: It was the practice of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to read his witr salaah after he slept and woke up for tahajjud. I would like to follow this Sunnah, however there is fear that I may not wake up for tahajjud and miss my witr.
Is it permissible and will I get the same reward as following a Sunnah of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) if I delay my witr till before I go to bed, read my witr and then sleep? Do I get the reward of following Sunnah?
Hanafi performing Witr Salaah behind a Shaafi imaam
Q: If I am a Hanafi and I move to an area that is mainly Shaafi's, do I follow the Shaafi mazhab or stick to Hanafi mazhab. For example, in instances like Ramadhaan where there is a difference in the way witr is performed, etc.
Performing sabina salaah and witr in the Harams
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?
Standing up for the fourth rakaat in Witr Salaah
Q: I was reading witr salaah and sat in tashahhud for the third rakaat. After reciting the tashahhud, I went into the fourth rakaat by mistake. On completing the fourth rakaat, I made salaam and sajdah sahw. Is my witr valid? Also, what is the ruling in the case where I forgot to sit in the third rakaat for tashahhud?
Repeating the sunnah and witr salaah if there was a mistake in the fardh of Esha
Q: After the Esha Salaah, when the musallees had already performed their witr salaah, the Imaam made an announcement that the salaah had to be repeated as he did not have wudhu. Will the two sunnah and the witr salaah also have to be repeated?
Making dua in English after reciting Dua-e-Qunoot
Q: Are we allowed to make English duas in Qunoot, after we recite Dua Qunoot?
Qiraat in the second or third rakaat of witr salaah being longer than the first rakaat
Q:
1. In the witr prayer, is it makrooh tahreemi, makrooh tanzeehi, or permissible to recite a surah in the third rakat which is longer by three verses or more than the surah which was recited in the first rakat and is it makrooh tahreemi, makrooh tanzeehi, or permissible to recite a surah in the third rakat which is longer by three verses or more than the surah which was recited in the second rakat?
2. In a fard prayer or in a wajib prayer, if two surahs have the same number of verses but not the same number of words then would it be makrooh tahreemi, makrooh tanzeehi, or permissible to recite the surah which has less words in the first rakat and to recite the surah which has more words in the second rakat?
