Q: The Imaam of my Musjid trims his beard to less than a fist length. Should I pray salah after him or not?
Q: Kindly advise me which are some of the best Surah's or Ayaat to be recited during Salaatul Haajat?
Q: Our work has a makeshift prayer room with a toilet and hand basin in it - is this acceptable? The room is alongside the female toilets and a meeting room and noises carry through the wall into the prayer room - is this a problem? I use a disabled toilet close to the prayer room (10 metres) and have used a plastic bottle for cleansing. The company has taken the bottle away as they say it is a safety problem. I suggested they instal a hand held bidet (like a shower hose) to remove safety problem. But they want me to use another disabled toilet that is further away (more than 50 metres and through many doors) because they don't want to upset disabled people. How far away should cleansing be from the prayer room?
Q: While doing sajdah women should touch their elbows to the ground. This is according to which maslak?
Q:
Q: I had prayed witr, and few minutes later I thought I had forgot to make sajdah sahw so I decided to re-pray it. I made intention for witr and made takbir and after it I realised that I prayed the witr correctly so I made salam and left the prayer without completing it. Then I thought, since I started and broke it, I must pray it either way. So I prayed it. Is what I did correct?
Q: If you are praying and notice that you are preventing someone from going past you because of your prayer, is it permissable in this case to move slighly (e.g. 1 step) to give the person space to pass? Or will this be like obeying a command from outside the prayer, hence invalidating it?
Q: Last Friday I made a mistake when I looked at the prayer times on the internet. The site I looked at gave two times for Esha. One time for 17 degrees (which is the view of Abu Yusuf, Imaam Muhammad, Shafi, Maalik, Ahmad bin Hanbal) and one time for 19 degrees (which is the opinion of Abu Hanifa). The mosque I go to use an even a earlier time of 15 degrees for Esha. My calendar at home uses 12 degrees. Now last Friday the time for Esha for 17 degrees was 23:10 and for 19 degrees it was 23:33 o'clock. Now when I go to the mosque for Esha I pray with the jamaat who pray at 15 degrees for Esha. But when I pray at home I used to pray at 19 degrees. So last Friday I prayed Esha with my brother at home by mistake at 17 degrees, and the next day on Saturday I prayed also on 17 degrees. I came to know this the next day on Sunday after Fajr time was expired. Now what should I do? I am not sure what to do therefore I ask you. Can I consider them valid as I prayed at 17 degrees which is valid according to all Imaams except Abu Hanifa? Or must I repeat first those two Esha and Witr prayer before I pray the current prayer of the time? If yes, what about the prayers I prayed in the meanwhile before getting your answer? Or should I wait until 6 prayers are passed over the Esha prayer I peformed at 17 degrees, then pray those two Esha and Witr prayers at any time? Or did I have to repeat those two Esha and witr prayers, then repeat the Fajr then pray the prayer that is coming i.e. Dhuhr?
