Q: Is it permissible to recite Salawaatun Naariya? I read in a few websites that it is an innovation and should not be practiced. But here in India people recite it to attain rewards or achieve any specific goals like 41 times or 313 times or 4444 times. Please, I kindly need your help in this issue and guide me because I've been asked to do the same. I want to know if it is permissible to recite salawatun naariya or is it an innovation?
Q: According to Maalikis if najaasaat goes on your body then its ok to pray namaaz even if it is a lot more than a dirham. According to shafies and hanbalies if any najaasaat goes on your body then it is haraam to pray namaaz and according to hanafies if less than a dirham namaaz is fine. Is this correct and how big is a dirham 12 or 5.94cm or another measurement?
Q: I worked for a debt collection agency in Qatar which dealt with defaulted Vodafone Qatar customers, my job was to collect money by calling them, my management was forcing me and everyone in the agency to abuse, threat and blackmail customers. I refused to do that hence the agency is terminating my contract and sending me back to my country, I have recorded some of these abuses made on my phone and if I send this to Vodafone UK, the company will lose their business, eventually close and lot of people will lose their jobs. Would it be right Islamically for me to do this as they are involved in illegal work or do I have to just forgive them and move on? Please shed some light this matter please.

Q: I usually pray two rakaats sitting after witr since this was the practise of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wasallam). However, I now came across a Hadith saying that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) didn't do these rakats 100% sitting, rather he stood up before ruku and made the ruku from a standing position. Can you please advice how to perform the two rakats. The hadith is: “He observed thirteen rak'ahs (in the night prayer). He observed eight rak'ahs and would then observe Witr and then observe two rak'ahs sitting, and when he wanted to bow he stood up and then bowed down, and then observed two rak'ahs in between the Adhaan and lqama of the dawn prayer.” (Sahih Muslim)
