Q: I have a problem reciting a certain part of the Tahiyyaat in Tashahhud. The part is: "...wa alaa ibadillaah'is salihin.." I have trouble pronouncing the last letter "n" out.

Q: Assuming in the first rakaat of witr, one recites Surah Lahab and Surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat. Is it necessary to make sajda sahu as only Surah Falak or Surah Naas can be recited in the third rakaat but these Surahs are longer than Surah Ikhlaas. Likewise, in any other namaaz, if one recited a Surah in the second rakaat that is slightly or much longer than the surah recited in the first rakaat, what is the ruling?
