Sunnah qiraat for fardh and sunnah salaah
Q: What is the sunnah qiraat for the different salaah, and is it sunnah to recite it in all the salaah (i.e. sunnah, witr and fardh) or only the fardh salaah?
Method of Salaah
Omitting Surah Faatihah in the third or fourth rakaat
Q:
1. During the fardh salaah of Zohr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, can the imam omit Surah Fatiha in the 3rd/4th rakat (when there is time constraints)? Stand for 3 subhanallahs before going in ruku.
2. Also, when one is performing Salah individually can one omit for the same reasons?
3. What is the status of Surah Fatiha in 3rd and 4th rakaat? i.e. Fardh, wajib, mustahab etc.
4. Is there any hadeeth to support?
Jerking in one's recitation while performing salaah
Q: I was sad for a moment during salah and I think my throat strained and my recitation jerked slightly. Is my salah fine?
Saying sallallahu alaihi wasallam in salaah
Q:
1. When we read durood in namaz or in general we say Muhammad, so do we have to say sallallahu alaihi wasallam 4 times?
2. What are the rewards of just saying sallallahu alaihi wasallam, like how durood has its rewards?
Imaam occasionally confusing letters while performing salaah
Q: An Imaam performed Fajr Salaah, he recited Surah غاشية. In this Surah he read وجوه يومئذ غاشية instead of خاشعة. Will the Salaah have to be repeated?
The Imaam occasionally gets confused between laam and raa, should he be making Imamat?
Saying aameen after making dua in sajdah
Q: Can I say aamen in sujood after making dua and after Durood in namaz?
Should one recite loudly or softly when performing salaah alone?
Q:
1. When a man is praying maghrib alone, is it best for him to recite loudly or silently?
2. If he chooses to recite loudly, should he also say the takbeers, samiAllahu liman hamidah etc loudly as well just as an imam would have done?
Putting the hand on the head and reading a dua after salaah
Q: A few weeks ago an email was sent under the heading azkaar after salaah. It mentions putting the hands on the head and reading for the removal of worry and grief. Can Mufti saheb please send me that azkaar.
Remaining silent when performing salaah behind the imaam
Q: What is the ruling regarding jahari and sirri salah behind an Imam? Does the muqtadi (follower) recite anything in both salah?
Example: The last one and two rakats of Maghrib and Esha farz respectively. Should he recite surah fatiha or should he remain silent?
Reciting Surah Faatihah behind the imaam
Q: My question is regarding the method of jamaat namaz:
1. If someone is offering namaaz with jamaat, should he be required to recite “Surah-fatiha” and a surah after that if the imam is reciting it?
2. Now in the case of Zuhr and Asr prayers (when imam is not reciting loudly Surah fatiha and Surah) do the people have to recite it or should they simply stand quiet?
3. In the last 2 rakats of a farz namaaz, I know that surahs are not recited after surah fatiha, I just want to confirm this from you?
4. If I join the jamaat in the rukooh of the first rakaat, I don’t need to repeat the 1st rakaat (this is what I understand); now when will I recite the thana “subhanakaALLAH...” ?
