Salaah

Q: What is the Shar'ee ruling in regard to women travelling for long distances alone?

Q: Immediately after performing his Fardh and/or Sunnah Muakkadah Salaah, a person is unable to remain seated and recite tasbeeh-e-Faatimi, Ayatul Kursi and other wazaaif on account of some time constraints or traveling. Whilst he is walking to his car, or even whilst driving, can he thus recite Ayatul Kursi, tasbeeh-e-Faatimi and other wazaaif now? Or would it be better to delay it and recite it at another time when he can be completely dedicated towards it?

Q: If a food particle is stuck in my throat, and I swallow it while in salaah. Is my salaah and wudhu broken? If a food particle is stuck in my throat, and I do NOT swallow it while in salaah. Is my salaah and wudhu broken?

Q: I read that using clothing with animate pictures are haram. Are we allowed to read salaah with a picture of an animal but it doesn't have the eyes drawn on it e.g. like a puma tracksuit pants?

Q: Respected Mufti, I stood behind in prayers where these verses were recited and on the second verse the Imaam would stop the surah and go into ruku. Is this allowed? If not, is this in violation on any of the etiquette of recitation of the Quran?

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ [٧٩:٢٣]

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ [٧٩:٢٤]

Q: Is it permissible to read the same ayaat of the Quran in ones Salaah? E.g. A person learnt sabak, and wants to make it strong, would it be permissible to read the same sabak in all four rakaat of Sunnats?

Q:

1) If a person's mother calls her whilst she is reading Salaah , and she is not sure if it's urgent or not, does she have to break her Salaah? Is there a difference if it's fardh or sunnat salaah?

2) If a person's husband is stuck outside the house because the door is locked with the key in and a lady is performing her Salaah, and the husband needs to come in then get farigh and proceed to musjid, should she break her Salaah. Again is there a difference if it's faraaid or Sunnats?

Q: While performing salaah, I am overcome by stray thoughts. When I realise that I am in salaah, I divert my mind from these thoughts and try to concentrate. How can I rectify this problem?

Q: I know that it is preferable to perform Sunnats and Nawaafil of Maghrib, Esha etc at home but if that relative's home has pictures of animate objects in the form of children's books & toys, is it then better to perform the Sunnats and Nawaafil in the Masjid as my understanding is no angel apart from Malikul Maut enters that house?

Q: If a person does other good deeds but he doesn't pray his five time Salaah, will his other good deeds be counted and accepted?
