Salaah

Reciting alif instead of ain in سمع الله لمن حمده

Q:

1.Does it break namaaz if in Semi Allahu limen hemideh one pronounce Alif instead of Ain in Semia?

2.Does it break namaz if one adjusts this mistakes already being up from ruku, meaning in the position standing straight when you say Rabbana lakal hamd?

3.Is sajda-sawh required for that?

4. If one did this mistake in witr namaz and then adjusted it at the position of Rabbana lakal hemd, then decided to make sajda-sawh, but in last tashahud he recited also Allahuma Sali and Allahuma barik, is his witr valid in shaa Allah?

5. I may not understand it from question 4, so please kindly answer separate – is it allowed to read all duas in last tashahud if one is going to perform sajda-sawh?

Delaying the witr Salaah

Q: My question is about witr Salaah:

1. After performing Esha Sallah at 8.00pm, can I delay my Witr Salaah till 11.00 pm(my sleep time)?

2. Can I combine Tahajjad and witr at the above mentioned time?

3. What will be my last Salaah before I go to sleep, Tahajjad or witr?

Reciting thana in place of dua-e-qunoot

Q: On pg 217 beheshti zewar, masla 32. Mention is made of a person who instead of reciting dua e qunoot in witr, read thanaa, then later read the qunoot, no sajdah sahw is required. If he doesn't read the qunoot later, ie just reads thanaa or something else in the dua e qunoot, will sajdah sahw be wajib? The kitaab mentions dua qunoot is wajib. Like surah Fatiha. If one reads something else instead of Surah Fatiha sajdah sahw is wajib. Please can mufti sb explain why for the qunoot it is not the same?

Doubts with regards to the number of rakaats performed

Q: In our local shopping centre there is a small prayer room. Three of us entered to pray zuhr salah and decided to pray in jammat. I was chosen to lead the prayer. We finished salah and went our separate ways. My question is this, after salah and returning home I kept feeling I prayed only 3 rakaats. I just couldn't get this feeling out of my mind. When we finished the other two never mentioned I only completed 3 rakat, so to tell you the truth I do not know whether I completed 3 or 4 rakaats. What must I do or should have done?
