Salaah

Mistakenly reciting a surah instead of attahiyyaat

Q: Is Salaat valid in the following cases? If so, please advise what should be done if such an error occurs in the Salaat.

1. Mistakenly reciting thana twice.

2. Mistakenly reciting some Ayaats of a Surah, or an entire Surah, instead of tashahhud. Tashahhud is then recited after the mistake is  realized.

3. Mistakenly reciting some part of tashahhud, or the entire tashahhud, instead of Surah Fatiha. Surah Fatihah is then recited after the mistake is realized.

Watn-e-asli

Q: I moved to a city for studies (a 7 year program) but never made the intention to move there permanently. During the course of the studies I got married in the city. From then on I considered the city to be my (second) Watan al-Asli, since I thought that it automatically became my Watan al-Asli since it is my wife's Watan al-Asli, although I still had the intention to move back to my original home after the end of my studies (together with my wife). Is this correct? I.e. is it my Watan Asli due to it being my wife's watan asli, or is it not since I never intended to settle neither myself nor my wife there? If so, will it still be my wife's watan al-asli even though she intends to move away with me from the city after I finished my studies?

Performing salaah while sitting due to dizziness

Q:

1. Zaid at times wasn't feeling well when praying his salah so he prayed with ishaara sitting on a chair, before the salah time expired he felt better, his condition was such that he could have prayed properly with sujood etc., is it compulsory for him to repeat the salah prayed with ishaara sitting on the chair?

2 a. Zaid is able to pray properly at home with Qiyaam and sujood etc. but when praying in the masjid he doesnt feel well, he feels dizzy, will his salah be valid if he prays in the masjid sitting on a chair with Ishaara?

2 b. In the above situation is it better for Zaid to pray five times salah and Jummah salah in the masjid with Ishaara sitting on a chair or pray at home with Qiyaam and sujood etc.?
