Method of Salaah

Sitting and performing Salaah in a coal mine

Q: I work on a coal mine, where the roof is not high enough to allow one to stand up straight. We work morning shift for a week and night shift the next week. Dhuhr is delayed until returning to surface when working morning shift, however salaah is performed underground when working afternoon shift. As one is required to stand upright, is it required to a) sit and pray (and then repeat the parayer when on surface) or b) stand and pray (even though one stands slightly crouched)?

Mistake in Attahiyyaat and Durood-e-Ebrahim

Q:

1. If one happens to omits portion of Durood Ibraaheem due to one forgetting it or making a mistake, is the Salaah valid?

2. If one happens to recite Tashahud and one repeats the portion( Ash Hadu...) where the index finger should be raised, perhaps due to getting stuck, should one raised the finger twice?

3. If yes, and it was not raised twice, is the Salaah valid?

4. Whilst in Salaah, during Durood Ibraaheem, one adds the words "Sayyidina" before the words and Names Muhammed (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam) and Ibraaheem (Alayhis Salaam), is the Salaah valid?

Sunnah qiraat on Fridays

Q:

1) On Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah (farz), the Imaams of the Musjid as well as the Musallis finds it difficult for surah-sajdah to be recited in the first rakaat, and then surah-dahr in the second. Therefore, by one Imaam (Zaid) spiltting up surah-sajdah in two rakaats on one Friday morning and then the other Imaam (Bakr) splitting up surah-dahr in two rakaats on the next Friday morning; will we still be fulfilling the Sunnah?

2) Is it Sunnah to recite Surah Jumuah on Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah? (farz)

3) Is it Sunnah to recite Surah A'laa and Surah Ghaashiyah on Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah? (Farz)
