Salaah

Q: In the posture of qiyaam, should a woman join her feet together or should there be a gap of four fingers between her feet, as is the case of men?

Q: In the posture of qiyaam, where should a woman place her hands? Should she place her hands below her chest or on her chest?

Q: In the massajid in Makkah and Madinah, there are no sahen areas. The second jamaah is performed in the musjid area. Should we join such a jamaah if we have missed the first jamaah?

Q: Can you explain how sajda-e-sahw is done in the Hanafi Mazhab?

Q: When should the muqtadi start to change posture in salat (e.g. from qiyam to sajdah): should he start moving immediately when the imam starts saying "Allahu akbar" or should he wait until the imam has completed saying the whole phrase "Allahu akbar"? Or should he, if he can see the imam, wait until the imam has totally completed his change of posture.

Q: If someone keeps his books or study materials (secular) open in his study table containing pictures of animated objects then if he prays Salaah in that room, will it be valid. (If he stands for Salaah then his study table will be by his right side and it will be sufficiently far to go unnoticed).

Q: Yesterday, when I went to toilet, I found stains of pre-cum (mazi) [I have this problem that often it comes out unintentionally). The stain was very small, probably smaller than a drop of water. Nevertheless, as I was in a hurry to join the Asr Salah in jamah, I forgot to change my underwear and even forgot to wash the stain. In this condition I prayer the Asr, Mugrib, Esha and todays Fajr Salah before recalling the incident. Now my question is should I repeat the four Salah prayed in the above mentioned condition or was my Salah valid. Can you also advise me on what to do for the problem of the mazi coming out.

Q: Is it permissible for a male & female to recite Qiraat loud in the 5 fardh salaah to teach the child (who is standing with the parent in salaah) how and what to pray in Salaah?

Q: If the Imaam breaks his wudhu during leading prayer, I know he can appoint another to be imaam, but is it also aloud that the jamaat does continue each individually their salaah ? Also, if the imaam is just leading 1 person, what is the situation then?

Q: What is the masaalah in regards to making Iqtidaa of a jamaat which is situated in a building disconnected by a distance of about 50 meters or so? ( a separate building) for eg.. a female jamaat making iqtidaa of the main jamaat in another building etc... on this point if Mufti Saheb could please discuss the situation in the haram when salaah is performed on the roads in saffs which are disconnected.
