fardh

Q: Will a person's ghusal be valid if he didn't do the faraa'idh (i.e. put water in the nostrils etc.)? 

Q: What is the obligaition of the gusul (bath). Please explain it.

Q: (I don't know whether I am a hanfi, shafi etc, so please answer accordingly)

The ghusl/ritual bath that we perform to become paak after menses, etc. have three farz/compulsory acts: washing mouth, cleaning nose, and pouring water all over the body. So if we perform ONLY and only these three acts and NOT perform the remaining acts like performing "Wuzu", washing wrists (not the one in wuzu), doing niyyat, etc. will our ghusl be valid and will we become paak?

Also, if I only perform these three acts and that too not in proper order (for example I wash my mouth and nose in the end or any other order), will my ghusl be valid and will my namaz be accepted?

Q: Is it permissible for the imaam to recite the sunnat duaas of qaumah and jalsah while performing fardh salaah?

Q: May some worldly harms of intentionally not performing Fardh Salaat be given.

Q: My question is if someone unintentionally read a surah in the third or fourth rakaat of a farz salaah, does he have to do sajda sahw? Similarly, if someone forgot to read a surah in the third or fourth rakaat of sunnat salaah, does he have to do sajda sahw?

Q: If I really save my money I can probably go for hajj within 5 years in shaa Allah, but what if I can't wait that long as I'm really longing to go to Makkah. Can I just go for umrah? I went there a month ago and I am still craving to go there and I can't wait for 5 years to go there? I intend going within the next year or next 2 years, but my parents say that it is a waste to go for another umrah, it is better to go for hajj, but 5 years, my heart cannot wait that long.

Q: Is jihaad in Shaam fardul ayn at the moment or not? If it is not, please state why. I am a darul uloom student, so I would appreciate a detailed response.
