Method of Salaah

Reciting in sequence in Salaah

Q:

1. When reading surahs in our Salaah is there a specific sequence to choose a surah to read? e.g. Do we have to start from Wadduha then followed by the next surah?

2. Is it ok to read a short Surah followed by a longer one? e.g. Wal Asr and then Izaajaa'a. Please explain what is the correct way?

Reciting behind the Imaam

Q: I require clarification on the following

1.During Dhuhr and Asr, when we say our Salaah in silence, must the Imam and the Musallis recite the Surah/Ayats in silence, each on their own or must the Imam alone recite the Surah/Ayats and the Musallis must keep quiet?

2.On Jumu’ah Day why is the Adhaan said twice instead of one as in the other days of the week?

Making a mistake in the tasbeeh of ruku' or sajdah

Q: In salah if I make a pronounciation mistake in sajda or ruku while reciting the tasbeeh first time or second time and if I correct it in the third time, will the salaah be still valid or the moment I make a mistake in sajda or ruku the salah becomes invalid. If the mistake happens in sajda or ruku, if I correct it the total tasbeeh becomes 4 times and in other sajdas it will only be 3 times. Does this difference effect the validity of salah and how to correct myself when I make mistake in sajda.

Levelling the back in ruku'

Q: Further to your advice that arms should be fully stretched during ruku' in Salat, please advise me further. I am a tall person with long arms, therefore in ruku' my back does not become horizontal without slightly bending my elbows. Am I excused from levelling by back, or it is not a requirement at all?

Reciting a Surah in the third and fourth rakaat after Surah faatiha in the four rakaats sunnat of zuhr

Q: I just wanna ask about the sunnat-e-muakadah before fardh of zuhr. I should perform it with salaam at the end and now my question is on the third rakaat am I only going to recite fatiha and also in the forth rakaat just like praying fardh or I should recite another surah in the third rakaat and another surah in the last rakaat after faatiha?
