Salaah

Performing Salaah in a place where there are pictures of animate objects

Q: If one does after performance of salaah find a picture that would make his salaah makruh, is it still makruh since he was unaware of the picture or forgot completely to  cover it when he commenced the salaah? and what if he was unaware when he commenced the salaah, but during salaah he saw the picture or remembered he forgot to cover a picture? I assume in such cases there is no karahaat.

إفتتاح جزء قليل من عورة الرجل في الصلاة

س: لو وقع أثناء الصلاة إفتتاح جزء قليل من عورة الرجل، مثلا في حالة السجدة تحرك قميصه، و أدى ذلك إلى إفتتاح جزء قليل من عورة الرجل، و لكنه وقع بغير العمد و في وقت قليل (مثلا أثناء السجدة فقط). هل في الحالة المذكورة الصلاة - صحيحة؟

Performing Salaah next to a person who has a picture of an animate object on his clothing

Q: When arranging the row for prayer I saw that one man had a trouser with a PUMA logo (animation of a jaguar) at the side of the leg, so I did not stand next to him, but I stood next to the person who was standing next to him so that this animated picture would be not visible to me. However when we stood up for the 2nd rakah the man was for some seconds still in the sajdah posture so I saw this animated picture. Did my salaah become makruh and must I repeat it?

Mixing up letters which have a similar sound in Salaah

Q: Letters which have similar sounds like: ذ , ز , ظ does mixing up between them nullify the salaah? Also ت , ط and also ث , س , ص and also د , ض and also ح , ه and also ا , ع also ق, ك does mixing up between these letters nullify the salaah? I read that there a different views, but what is view that is to be taken ? And what did the majority say?

Performing Salaah next to a person wearing a pigskin jacket

Q: If in the row behind the imaam the person next to me wears a pigskin-leather jacket, and this jacket touches my clothes or my bare skin (as it will obviously do since we must stay close together in the row) during qiyam, ruku, sujud, tashahhud. Will this affect the validity of my Salaah? Does the validity matter if it touches my clothes or the bare skin? Am I considered the carrier of the jacket when it touches me?

إنحراف عن القبلة في الصلاة

س: في أحد المواقع الديوبندية قرأت هذا:

A divergence of up to 45 degrees to the left or right of the true direction of the Qiblah is overlooked.  If one performed Salā hh facing beyond 45 degrees from the true direction of the Qiblah, then that salāh will be invalid.

و استند الشيخ فراز بن آدم المحمودي (تلميذ إبراهيم ديسائي) في هذا الفتوى إلى : (الدر المختار من نسخة حاشية ابن عابدين ج 1 ص 427-429 أيج أيم سعيد) و إلى (أحسن الفتاوى ج 2 ص 313 أيج أيم سعيد). أحتاج إلى التدقيق في المسألة. هل فهمت صحيحا: لو وقع الصلاة بالميل عن الإتجاه الحقيقي للقبلة، و هذا الميل لا يخرج عن حدود 45 درجة من اليمين - فالصلاة في
هذه الحالة - صحيحة، و إن وقع هذا الميل عمدا؟ و كذلك عندما وقع من اليسار؟ هل فهمت صحيحا؟

Women's Salaah in the Hanafi Mazhab

Q: Woman's prayer in Hanafi madhab, why different than a man? It not even mentioned by the Imaams of the madhab, such as in Kitaab al Asl, Mabsut of Sarakhsi. The Sharh Ashbah of Hamawi must be checked on the verdict of Abu Hanifa that a woman raises her hands upto ears because her hands are not awrah. I read that in a article that this riwayah is even cited mutlaq i.e. the salaah of men and women is same, and it gave as referance Hamawi's Sharh Ashbah.
