Q: I overslept and was late awakening for the fajr Salaah. Thinking it to be very late, I prayed wudhu and only the two fard of Fajr. However after reading this, I checked the perpetual calendar and realised there was still 11 minutes before sunrise. I immediately prayed both my sunnah and my fard of fajr, with 3 minutes still left for sunrise. Was this correct of me? What should I have done in this situation. Is my salaah valid?
Q: Previously I asked about a man who passed away but for the majority of his life did not pray Salaah. As per your previous reply, fidya can be given on behalf of the deceased: What do the Ulama state about a person who is not an heir but is related to the deceased, can they give the fidya on his behalf? Furthermore, how does one calculate the fidya per Salaah?
Q: In Salaah, when sitting in jalsa position, is it sunnah to sit on the left foot with the right foot raised and the toes of the right foot facing the qiblah? The question is when sitting on the left foot is it also a sunnah to have the toes of the left foot facing the Qiblah?
Q: In order to create more space in the Musjid for Musallees on the occasion of Jumuah, we ask all the Musallees to move forward one step. The problem is that those Musallees in the first saff who are in line with the Mimbar, when they step forward, they have insufficient space for sajdah and thus make make sajdah on the step of the mimbar.
1.Is the Salaah of these Musallees valid?
2.If the Salaah is valid, is it Makrooh for them to make Sajdah in this manner?
3.In these circumstances, is it permissible to leave a gap in the first saff in line with the mimbar?
Q: I performed the four sunnah of Asr salaah however in the 3rd rakaat I forgot to read a Surah after Surah Fatiha only realised this in ruku. I intended to make sajda sahwa but after the 4th rakaat I read the tashahud, durood and dua and made both salaams. Whilst making the second salaam I remembered the sajda-e-sahw and immediately made a sajda after then completed the Salaah. Was I correct or did I have to repeat the Salaah?
Q: I heard that that the hands should be placed on the chest during salah because there are sahih hadith on this. And also, the hadith of placing hands below the navel is weak. Is this true? I've been told it doesn't matter much where the hands are placed as long as the prayers are offered, but I still would like to know the correct way.
Q: What do the Ulama say about a person who passed away reciting the Kalimah but for most of his life didn't perform Salaah. What can the family do to compensate for his qadha Salaah? Please guide.
