Reciting a dua in the middle of a Surah
Q: Could Mufti Saab please advise me on how one should continue after reciting a dua in the middle of a Surah.
Takbeer-e-tahreemah and Qiyaam
Hearing oneself reciting the Takbeer-e-tahreema
Q: I wanted to ask regarding takbeer tahreema for Salaah. I have learnt that it is necessary to say it loud enough to hear oneself otherwise the Salaah does not start. I want to ask, do you have to hear the takbeer clearly or is it enough to hear the sound? Also, if I only hear parts of the tahreema, and not others, will my Salaah be valid?
Tying the hands in qiyaam
Q: When the hands are tied in salaah, should the fingers of the right hand be kept closed, or slightly apart?
Looking at the place of sajdah when making takbeer
Q: When saying takbeer to begin salaah, does one fix his gaze to the place of sajdah, or look forward?
When should one start Takbeer-e-Tahreema
Q: What is the اصح (most correct) opinion regarding when to start takbeer-e-tahreema?
- After raising the hands
- While raising the hands
Salaah according to the Hanafi Mazhab
Q: I was raised in a Hanafi family and I pray my salat according to the Hanafi school. But recently I found out that prophets prayer was a little bit different than the way Hanafis pray. For example, Hanafis DONT raise their hands before going to the Rukuh and while straightening up from the Rukuh. So I was thinking should I start praying like the way Hanbalis pray? I go to a Hanafi masjid. Can I pray like this over or should I act like a pure Hanafi?
