Various masaail of Salaah
Repeating salaah if one found out that wudhu was not valid
Q: I was sitting after performing salaah when I noticed that there is a black, sticky substance on my foot through which water could not pass. It was the size of a whole round fingernail, and I had not seen it before.
Then, my brother told me that he saw it since 3 or 4 days on my foot. I had also led jamaat during these days. Will I have to repeat all the salaah that I had offered on these days? Will those who followed me in jamaat also have to repeat their salaah?
Reward of performing salaah after using the miswaak
Q: If I use a miswaak before performing salaah at home alone, will I still get the reward of 70 times more as if I were to perform the salaah in the musjid?
Reward for performing salaah by applying itr, wearing a turban or after performing miswaak
Q:
1. Is there any hadith that states that the reward for praying salah applying itr (fragrance) is 70 times more than offering salah without applying itr?
2. The same reward I have heard for offering salah wearing an عمامة (turban) for men, is it stated in any hadith?
3. Is the above mentioned reward given for a person praying salah after doing Miswaak as well?
Motivation to perform salaah
Q: I find it hard to motivate myself to do what is right for me and my religion.
Example, I wake up three consecutive days and pray tahajjud. After that I am unable to even wake up. The same applies to the five times Salaah and seeking knowledge. I become lazy and end up forfeiting all these acts of virtues for a long period of time. When I do end up starting again, I do it for another three days and leave it again. I wish to be consistent in Allah's obedience and worship.
Yawning in salaah
Q: When I start offering salaah, I start yawning frequently. How can I get rid of it?
Reward of ibaadat affected by causing zulm and injustice
Q: Does a person's prayer count when he sexually assaults a family member (niece) when he pray's 5 times a day?

Q: What does Islam say about someone (a Muslim) offering prayers in a gurdwara, temple or church? Is it allowed? If so, then in what conditions?
