Salaah

Q: Alhamdullah, I am pregnant. So can I offer nafal and sunnah Salah on the chair and perform the fardh Salah by standing.

Q: I'd like to know if there is any ruling with regards to a person that has passed the age of 80 and they do not perform salaah.

Q: There is a hadith about women travelling, Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, 

"It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the last day to make a journey of one day and night unless she is accompanied by a mahram (husband or male relative whom she is prohibited to marry)." (Al Bukhari and Muslim) 

According to the hadith, if a woman travels alone will her prayers not be accepted?

Q: If I am going from my home to the next place which is 40 kms and will be staying there for 2 days and thereafter to the next destination which is 200 kms away and staying there for 3 days. I then come back home. 

Do I make the intentions for Musaafir when I leave home and pray qasr from the time I leave home.

Q: If a woman is out with her family to a hotel to eat and went to a mall to enjoy some time... So what must she  do if salah time is due? She prayed asr at home and went outand now it's maghrib time and she can't pray because there is no women's prayer room in the malls or hotels... So what must she do in this situation?

If she does jama' salah in her home, like praying 4 rakah of asr and then 3 rakah of maghrib in the same time because she won't get a place to pray maghrib, is this correct?

Q: Is salaat valid if performed with a small tear in one's trouser exposing a little bit of one's thigh? Does salaat performed in this condition have to be repeated?

Q: When reading say maybe 4 sunnats of Zuhr Salaah. Can one make multiple intentions, for example, intention for wudhu salaah as well. Or is multiple intentions only acceptable in nafl salaah? 

Q: Can a person add Sayyiduna when reciting Durood Ebrahim in Salaah?

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.
