Laughing in salaah

Q: If some one laughs in salaah in a voice thats not audible (whispering voice) and is praying alone will wuzu break if it was loud enough for some one else to here but the voice isnt audible will wudhu break?

Qiyum-ul-layl (Tahajud) in congregation in the month of Ramadhaan

Q: During the last 10 days of Ramadan brothers in our Masjid Perform Qiyum-ul-layl (Tahajud) in congregation. Would like to know if this is permissible, if not then what should we do if you are doing Itikhaff in the masjid. One scholar told has that Deoband has given a special permission to perform Tahajud in Congregation during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

Time of Esha Salaah

Q: I wanted to know what is the earliest duration between exactly sunset and esha (1h15 minutes or 1h 20 minutes)?  The reason for asking this question is that there is a site called islamic finder that has salaah times which seems to be very accurate and wanted to use it.

Reciting out of sequence in Salaah

Q: Recently at a Jumu’ah salaah, the Imaam read Surah 110 Al-Nasr in the first Rakaat and then Surah 109 Al-Kafirun in the second rakaat. We have always been taught to read in ascending order, i.e. 109, 110, 111, 112 etc. The Imaam was a guest Shafee Imaam in a largely Hanafee congregation.

  • What is the position regarding the validity of that particular Salaah?
  • What does one do if one is reading individually and makes the same mistake as above and realises it (a) whilst completing the Salaah, and (b) after Salaah is completed?
