Q: My question is regarding the order of recition of Surah's in namaz. We are students and I was the imaam for fajr. In first rakat, after Surah Faatihah, I recited Surah Nasr and in the second rakat, after Surah Faatihah I recited the first 3 verses of Surah Mulk. Was the namaz totally wrong and needed to be offered again?
Q: I want to know about tahajjud salaah, how can we perform tahajjud?
Q: I have a friend who is around 15 and 16 years old and is a Hafiz of the Quran. He is willing to lead taraweeh this year but he is not sure if he is baaligh. What should he do?
Q: I accidentally put my prayer mat over a bone that my cat ate and I prayed over it. The bone was from halaal meat. Is this ok?
Q: Is it obligatory to have a sutrah when performing salaah?
In my training centre, the staff make sure the room I pray in is vacant and I don’t have a prayer mat - I just check if the floor is clean. Is this ok?
Q: I go to work by road for 70 km and then by helicopter for 45 min. Sometime I go for seven days (return date is confirmed) and sometimes my return date is not confirmed and depends on the completion of the job. Please tell if I have to pray full prayers?
Q: There is a masjid inside a university where many Muslim students live, but it often does not have any jamaat salaah on Sundays, though the Friday prayer is held there.
An imam is appointed for the masjid, but he often does not come for Fajr, Isha and prayers on weekends (maybe because he lives far from the university). When the imam is not present, anyone leads the prayer. Is it correct to start a 2nd jamaat after the imam has already led the 1st jamaat salaah?
Q: If the Imaam stands for the 5th rakaat, will the muqtadi stand with the Imaam?
Q:
1. When I tie a scarf around my head to pray, it sometimes moves or my hair can be seen through the material or my shoulder or neck can be seen through as it is slightly (not very) see through because of this I feel my prayer has been invalidated. Is this true? I of course wear clothes under the scarf but if the scarf is slightly see through, will this invalidate my namaz?
2. All the namaz I have been reading with this scarf, so if my namaz is invalid, would this mean my nikah would be invalidated?
Q: Can an old man who performs salaah on a chair lead the jamaat salaah in the Musjid?
