Method of Salaah

Q: After a sajdah Ayat in salaah, does one recite Bismillah before continuing with the qiraat?

Q: My question regards the raising of the hands before and after ruku. I have read that there is not sufficient evidence to prove that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not perform this action during Salaah. The same applies to the positing of the hands during Qiyaam (on the chest or below the navel). I would be indebted if Mufti could please provide supporting evidence.

Q: Why do Barelwi Imaams after the Salaam of the Salaah turn towards the North-West for supplication (in the case of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.)?

Q: I read that in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of qadha salaah (zuhar, asar, maghrib and esha) you can pray subhaanallah three times instead of Surah faatiha and the Salaah will be valid and you will have fulfilled the right of the Salaah. Is this true?

Q: What is the correct manner of reading the dua after Salaah with regard to reading it loud or soft. Should the dua be made audible (loud) or inaudible (soft)? In our musjid the Imaam starts the duaa loud and reads the first part loud then remains silent and reads the duaa silently, thereafter he reads the ending of the duaa loudly again. Is this correct or is it a bid'a?

Q: What is the correct way of performing salaam in salaah? Should one stop in the centre in between salaams, or continue without stopping? And after making that second salaam is it necessary to return back to the centre or not?

Q: If one has many years of Qadha salah can one read one ayah per rakah, eg. the starting ayaats of Surah Baqarah, is it sufficient to recite 1 ayah which runs into 1 or 1.5 lines?

Q: Could Mufti Saab please advise me on how one should continue after reciting a dua in the middle of a Surah.

Q: If one makes a mistake in the Qiraat of fardh salaah which did not change the meaning, what should be done?

Q: Is Raful-yadain a sunnah or a part of an outdated Hadith?
