Salaah

Q: We have a Hafiz saheb performing taraweeh for us. He is a Shafi'ee so in Surah haj he will make sajdah and in Surah saad he will not make sajdah. What should we do?

Q: If a latecomer wishes to join the jamaat salaah,but in order to join the saff he will have to pass in front of other latecomers who are reading their sunnats in the back saffs. There is no way of joining the saff without passing/crossing someone. What should he do?

Q: My friends insist that there is qadha for missed Salaah during haidh just like there is qadha for saum. I tried explaining to them that there isn't but all they say is that I am not learned and the learned have told them. Its reached a stage where they are calculating their missed Salaahs and making qadha of it.

Q: I would like to know if it is permissible to recite Salaatul Istikhara even if you only intend on marrying the desired person after a couple of years. I have heard that after reading the Salaah then nikaah should not be delayed. Please can you also tell me more about the Salaatul Istikhara that is read on a persons behalf, also what are the conditions of that Salaah?

Q: We are curently performing Esha Salaah and Taraweeh Salaah at our home. The closest Musjid is about 4-5 kms away. There is a musallah which is 2 kms away. Someone mentioned to me that it isn't permissible for us to perform the esha Salaah at our home. We have to perform Esha Salaah at the Musjid and then return home to perform the Taraweeh. Please advise?

Q: An Imaam performed twenty rakaats Taraaweeh during the month of Ramadhaan. This Imaam stood up for the third rakaat without performing tashahhud. He completed the salaah by performing four rakaats. Is the Taraaweeh salaah valid if performed in sets of four or six rakaats?

Q: To recite attahiyaat is waajib in the 1st sitting of 4 rakaats Salaah. If it is missed then sajdah sahw becomes waajib. Sometimes the Imaam recites the attahiyyaat very quickly and then stands up whilst many muqtadees have not finished their attahiyyaat. Should they follow the Imaam immediately or should they complete their attahiyyaat and then stand? 

Q: What is the ruling regarding making niyaat for women not in the saff?

Q: If the person performing the taraweeh misses the Esha Salaah with the Jammat, is he still allowed to perform the taraweeh?

Q: Which is the correct method of making salaam at the end of salaah. Is it one salaam to the right and therafter one salaam to the left or does the face have to be brought back to the center after the salaam to the right and then salaam to the left.
