Method of Salaah

Q: Is it ok to read the same surah after fatiha in each rakat for example reading surah ikhlaas after fatiha in the 1st and 2nd rakat of any salah?

Q: Can you tell me all the fard and wajib arkaan of salaah?

Q: Recently at a Jumu’ah salaah, the Imaam read Surah 110 Al-Nasr in the first Rakaat and then Surah 109 Al-Kafirun in the second rakaat. We have always been taught to read in ascending order, i.e. 109, 110, 111, 112 etc. The Imaam was a guest Shafee Imaam in a largely Hanafee congregation.

• What is the position regarding the validity of that particular Salaah?
• What does one do if one is reading individually and makes the same mistake as above and realises it (a) whilst completing the Salaah, and (b) after Salaah is completed?

Q: What is the Hanafi proof for making the heels touch in sajda? Is this applicable to followers of other madhabs as well?

Q: Seeing that people are hasty in salaah, should one enforce the reading of the Mustahab duaahs between the sajdas & after ruku or should one stick to the hanafi Madhab by reading these duaahs in the nafl salaahs & merely encourage people to be mindful of the Waajibaat etc?

Q: What should one recite in the four rakaats of Zuhr and Asr behind the Imaam according to the hanafi Maslak? Also, if one does not know dua-e-qunoot then what he should recite in witr prayers can he recite rabbana atina fiduniya 3 times or not?

Q: What is the Sunnah method of going down in sajdah? Should we go down into sajdah without placing the hands on the knees, or go down with placing the hands on the knees?

Q: I would like to know when performing the 3 rakaats of fard maghrib, do you recite a surah in the third rakaat after reciting surah fatiha or do you just recite surah fatiha and then go into ruku?

Q: I am currently becoming hafiz at the age of almost 40 (please make dua that I reach completion). I practice what I have learnt during the day by reciting it in namaz and in nawafils. After Esha I come home from the masjid and I recite quietly in the sunnats of Esha and loudly in witr namaz and in nawafils thereafter. I do not pray loud in nawafils during the day because I have been told that you can't recite aloud in the sunnats of (say for eg. Esha, maghrib) and that you can't pray loud in nawafil during the day (only at night), is this true?

I find it so much easier and more helpful if I read aloud, I find that reading aloud helps me retain what I have memorised much better. For the sake of my purpose (hifz-e-quran) would it be ok for me to recite aloud in sunnats of maghrib/Esha, etc and in Ishraaq and chast namaz in the privacy of my own home (without disturbing anyone)?

Q: Is one's namaz valid if we don't read durood sharif and the dua in the last rakaat?
