Q: I was travelling to Durban and stopped in Harrismith to make Zohr. On my was back I stopped again to make Zohr, and was told after I completed my salah that I was facing the wrong direction. I am not sure if the brother was correct, but do I need to repeat my salaah?
Q: Can these musallas be used for new Muslims so they can read the correct du'aas and surahs in salaah?
It's basically a 1.5 metre piece of leather/strong plastic, and printed on it are; Surah Faatiha and two other surahs plus all the du'aas in salaah with an illustration of the posture they're to be recited in.
The idea is for the new Muslim to pray their salaah on this mat, reading from it and following the illustrations as they pray their salaah. This mat goes directly on the ground and the person is standing on it.
Q: Can a new Muslim who doesn't know any surah or duaa and is still learning, recite SubhaanAllah thrice in each posture? Will that suffice until they learn Surah Faatiha?
Q: After leading a congregation in Fard salah, some Imams choose to do zikr after turning and facing the congregation directly or turn and sit at an angle facing the congregation. Is this based on a sunnah?
Q: The imaan was reading Surah Sajdah. He got stuck repeatedly and paused for more then 3 subhanAllahs. Does salaah need to be repeated because he didn't make sijdah sahw?
He got stuck like this before. He seems to be ignorant of the masla.
He also stands with his legs far apart like a ghair muqalid. What should be done in this situation? How should he be corrected?
Q: I had a wet dream and went for ghusl. There was like 18 mins left for sunrise to pray Fajr when I went to do ghusl. While doing ghusl, when I checked my phone it was 7:16 and time for sunrise was going to be over at 7:25. So when I saw the time was 7:16, I did fast and made a call to a person which took 15 seconds. Then I started washing my parts but unintentionally it took more time. When I finished washing my parts it was 7:24 and now the time was over because I had to make wudu also. I made wudu and prayed my salah. Is my salah valid?

1. Is it permissible to shoot paintballs, now that there is evidence to show that the paintballs are made from swine?
