Salaah

Q: I want to ask if I can pray Tahajjud when I am unable to pray Zuhr on time and pray it as qaza namaaz.

Q: I have a ghair muqallid relative. He doesant adhere to a madhab and he was saying how is my Salaah accepted if I don't recite faatiha in quiet Salaah behind the imaam. I gave him the verse of the Qur'an to prove but he said how can the imam be heaed if he is quiet. He confused me. Please clarify what should I do? I sometimes doubt.

Q: When entering my local masjid shortly before fard salat starts, some people avoid sitting down before the fard prayer. They say this is so that they will be able to include the intention of tahiyyatul masjid in their fard prayer (they say that according to their madhab which I think is Shafie, the opportunity of tahiyatul masjid disappears when you sit down). I know that the opportunity of tahiyatul masjid is not nullified for us Hanafis by sitting down, but is it still recommendable for us to stand together with the others (i.e. not sit) even if we are Hanafis, to be on the safe side and to avoid ikhtilaf? I mean just as our books of fiqh says that it is mustahabb for us to redo wudhu after having touched a person of the opposite gender in order to avoid ikhtilaf.

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?
