Q: I was reciting Surah Faatihah in place of Attahiyyaat. I realized at the time when I was going to lift my index finger. I stopped Surah Faatihah then recited Attahiyyaat and ending with sajdah sahw or I completed Surah Faatihah and ending with Salaam only. Will my salaah be valid? If not, kindly inform me as how do I correct such an error in salaah?
Q:
1. What is the difference between ishraaq, chaasht and awaabeen salaah? Some people say that they are all one nafil salaah, but the names and times are different. Why are these separately described in the ahaadeeth?
2. If someone read ishraaq, does he need to read chaasht as well?
Q: If a person walks in front of one while performing salaah, does it break the salaah of the one still in salaah.
Q: I was bowing in ruku and usually I tend to bend my knees slightly when doing so because apparently that is how a woman’s salah is supposed to be according to Hanafi mazhab. My hands are usually clasped around my knees. I suddenly remembered that I read that women aren't supposed to clasp their hands over their knees and was going to move them. I believe I intended on moving my body and arms a little up so the tips of my fingers would reach the top of my knees. I ended up not really moving much I think - I only moved my hands a little up I think.
1. Is my salah fine?
2. Would my salah have been invalidated if I moved my arms and body up too?
Q: My child went to live in England forever to study and work. If he returns home, would he be musaafir? The city where he lived before is always his watne Aslî or is England now his watn Asli?

Q:
1. During the fardh salaah of Zohr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, can the imam omit Surah Fatiha in the 3rd/4th rakat (when there is time constraints)? Stand for 3 subhanallahs before going in ruku.
2. Also, when one is performing Salah individually can one omit for the same reasons?
3. What is the status of Surah Fatiha in 3rd and 4th rakaat? i.e. Fardh, wajib, mustahab etc.
4. Is there any hadeeth to support?
Q: I was sad for a moment during salah and I think my throat strained and my recitation jerked slightly. Is my salah fine?
Q:
1. When we read durood in namaz or in general we say Muhammad, so do we have to say sallallahu alaihi wasallam 4 times?
2. What are the rewards of just saying sallallahu alaihi wasallam, like how durood has its rewards?
Q: If while performing salaah a fibre of miswaak is swallowed. Does the salaah break?
