Salaah

Q: I do not know Arabic, but I can read transliterations. I do not know duaa Qunoot for the witr prayer. Can I pray Ayatal Kursi instead ?

Q: I have done istikhaara for marraige and I proposed to the man I had in mind. He said that he needs time because he is not financially independent yet. I can wait. But I am confused. Is that a positive or a negative response?

Q: I got home a little late from college and there was little time left for Maghrib but I prayed it anyway and got a little into Esha time. Was it wrong for me to pray Maghrib knowing it was about to be over? Should I pray anyway if a situation like this occurs?

Q: Why is it not permissible to pray behind a shia jamaath even when they do believe in Allah?

Q: Can you please explain uptil when sajda-e-sahw can be done for unintentionally missing out a wajib in the prayer? If a person unintentionally leaves out a wajib, and they have done salaam, can they still do sajda-e-sahw? Also, if a person does not do sajda-e-sahw, and the prayer time has ended, will they have to redo the prayer? I have heard that the prayer will have to be redone for leaving out a sajda-e-sahw as long as its still the prayer time, but after the prayer time has passed, it is not mandatory to redo the prayer, but recommended to. Please if you can explain.

Q: Should a person recite faatiha if he joins the Imaam in the third and forth rakaat?

Q: My question is, in asar namaaz, if the Imam forgets to perform qada-e-ula and stands, after the interruption of Muqtadi he sits again in qada. During qada ukhraa he performs sajda e sahw. Is the namaz correct or not?

Q: Is it allowed for a lady to travel with her child of age one year for umra. Her husband is in Saudi Arabia and will be waiting in Jeddah airport for her and also will perform umra with her, but she will be alone in travelling from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia airport. I hear it is mandatory for her to have a mahram with her. My question is, is it ok for her to travel alone to Saudi and after that perform umra with her husband?

Q: I wanted to find out if it is permissible to read on the new mussalla that is out. It converts into a backrest.

Q: Is it compulsory to read salaah on a musalla or can Salaah be read on any surface that appears clean?
