Salaah

Performing Salaah outside the Haram

Q: In the Haram Sharif the gates of the masjid are closed early. Many people pray on the marble or in the street. At times there is a large space in between the saffs. Will the salah be valid if there is a large space in between the saffs on the marble or praying in the street? By praying on the marble outside the Haram sharif masjid or in the street, will a person get the 100 thousand reward because the gates of the masjid are closed early?

Making bina in Salaah

Q: My question is regarding a woman doing bina if she involuntarily breaks her wudhu in Salaah. One of the conditions of bina is that the satr should not become uncovered for bina to be correct. But if the woman goes to redo her wudhu she will uncover her arms and head and ankles etc to do wudhu, so would this still mean the bina is valid?

Going late to the Musjid for zuhr Salaah

Q: I am at home and the zuhr prayer jamat will soon start in the masjid and I have only a few minutes to perform my 4 sunnats. If I perform the sunnats before I leave for the masjid, I will miss the beginning of the jamat (I will catch the last 1-2 rakats). Should I do this, or should I instead leave early to the masjid and pray the 4 sunnats after the fard, thus catching the jamaat from its beginning?
