Q: In the second rakaat of any Salaah, can a longer Surah be recited compared to the Surah recited in the first rakaat? Or must the Surah recited in the first rakaat always be much longer than that recited in the second rakaat? If so, on what basis should the length of a Surah be determined?

Q: I have read the book regarding womens salaah and would like clarity on a few issues. Please provide proofs from Quraan, hadith and the imaams jazakallah.

1) Why should a women place her hands on her chest in qiyaam?

2) Why should a women only touch her knees with her finger tips for ruku? The hadith that mentions the thief in salaat clearly says that its one who doesn't complete the postures. A women who just touches her knees in ruku is definitely not completing her ruku.

3) Why should a women place her elbows on the ground in sajda? The Ahaadith clearly instruct us not to prostrate like dogs and place our elbows on the ground, they can still draw their bodies close and keep the elbows off the ground.

Q: In Mecca, inside Safwa Towers there is a very large prayer area (with its own sound system, recitation coming direct from the Haramain Sharifain Imam).
