Salaah

Q: It is mentioned in the Hadith that Voluntary Worship is a means of attaining proximity to Allah. Besides the Obligatory and Essential Prayers, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to make arrangements for the Voluntary (Nawafil) Prayers too.

1) I want to perform tahajjud namaz daily but when I sleep I don't wake up at the time of tahajjud. So can I just offer eight rakats Voluntary Worship for Allah before going to sleep daily?

2) Is it allowed to perform extra Voluntary Worship any time of a day and any time of night before going to sleep?

Q: I want to perform my qadha prayers. I will perform my qaza namaz after every obligatory prayers but I am worried about fajar and asar prayers. Please describe is it okay to offer fajar qaza namaz after fajar obligatory prayer and is it allowed to offer qaza namaz during asar and magrib prayer?

Q: A married person who is secretly in contact with another unmarried woman but he is an Imam of a masjid also, Salaah performed behind him is valid or not?

Q:

1) A person thought of a sajdah Ayat in his head without reciting it with his lips. Does sajdah-e-tilaawat become wajib?

2) A person mistakenly made a sajdah-e-tilaawat in salaah at the wrong aayat of Quran. Does sajda-e-sahw become wajib?

Q: I realized that I was reading surah Ikhlas pausing in letter Mim (everywhere where it has sukun in this surah) in last ayats making it as double letter – shadda. Does it change the meaning? If during salah I realize I did it again, do I have to start salahs from the beginning or I have to make sajda-sawh or can proceed without it as normal? Could you please also let me know, is it true that kaza of sunna of fajr cant be made in a fajr time, but has to be made any other time after fajr?

Q: From your book I understood that before and during first takbeer, a woman must look in front of her and only bend her head to look at sajda after takbeer. I look at a wall in my room because it is in front of me, is it correct? Should the head be bent slightly or doesn’t matter the angle? If starting salah looking at sajda place during first takbeer by mistake, does it break salah, require sajda-sawh or nothing of this?

Q:

1. What is tadeel-e-arkaan?

2. Does leaving out tadeel-e-arkaan during salaah cause sajda-e-sahw to become waajib or not?

Q: When we move from one posture to the next posture, should we stretch the takbeer e.g. when we stand up from sajda to go to qiyaam for the next rakaat, must we pull the takbeer?

Q:

1. How women must lift her hands during the first takbeer – close to the middle section of her bosom or close to the area near armpits where bosom part starts? Takbeer must be said after hands are up, not during lifting them up, is it correct?

2. When we say takbeer in salaah (women salah) we immediately go to next posture and we finish saying takbeer only after reaching it. How to deal with mistakes that happen sometimes with this, when we are too fast either to say takbeer or to reach the posture or we are just the opposite, to slow? Do we have to repeat salaah or make sajda-sawh or ignore this? I have some salahs where I made such mistakes, what to do about those salahs, repeat them or not?
