Q: In one musjid, the Imam Saheb read in the first rakaat of Fajr Salaah from the middle of Surah Tahreem,
يا أيها الذين آمنوا قوا أنفسكم و اهليكم
till the end of the Surah. Then in the second rakaat he read a different surah. Is there any reason for doing so? Would it not be better to start at the beginning of the Surah, read 2 pages, then in the second rakaat finish off the Surah?
Q: In fardh Salaat, is it appropriate to recite Ayatul Kursi in the first rakaat, and a Surah shorter than Ayatul Kursi in the second rakaat? For example, reciting Ayatul Kursi in the first rakaat, and either Surah Asr or Surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat.
Q: If I am reading 4 rakaats Sunnah salaah and I read surah Naas in the first rakaat, what must be read in the remaining 3 rakaat?
Q: A person was offering fajr and recited Surah Al A'laa in it. However, the person missed 4 ayat in the middle of the surah (from ayah 12 to ayah 16) and also did not do sajdah sahw. Should the prayer be repeated?
Q: Is the following makrooh:
1. To read a shorter Surah in the first rakaat and a longer Surah in the second rakaat?
2. To read a Surah in the 1st rakaat and then skip a Surah and read the next Surah in the second rakaat?
3. To recite Surahs in the wrong order in salaah?
Q: I have been told that we cannot pre determine what surahs we going to read before commencing salaah. This came up when I told someone that I have first rakaat surahs, second rakaat surahs & so on, so I do not make a mistake or forget which rakaat I am currently reading.
Q: In the third or fourth rakaat of a four rakaat fardh salaah, a person mistakenly recited a surah after Surah Faatihah. If sajda-e-sahw is not made, is the salaah valid or does the salaah need to be repeated?
Q: The first rakah of fajr should be long. Is it for the two rakah sunnah or the fard only?
Q: I was a masbooq for esha salaah and in the surah after surah fatiha I think I missed out a few words in surah nasr in the last aayat due to some disturbance. I think the words were 'was tagh fir'. In this situation do you need to make sajda e sahw and do I need to repeat my salaah?
Q: I would like to know if I can pray these 3 surahs in my tahajud salah; surah waqia, surah mulk and surah sajda because I pray out of salah so I can add them to my tahajud salah.
