He forgot a prostration and did not remember until those who prayed behind him had already left
I prayed with the Imam and he forgot the second prostration in one of the Raka‘hs. Knowing that this was the Fajr prayer, what should those being led and the Imam do if this was remembered after the end of the prayer and the people had already departed?

Two people shaking hands in front of someone who is praying is equal to them passing in front of him
My question is about two people in the mosque. They shake hands while there is a third person who is praying between them. As such, their hands are in the way of his Qiblah (prayer direction, the Ka'bah in Makkah). Is this considered passing in front of the one who is praying?

Praying 'Asr after shadow of object becomes twice its height

Delaying entering toilet until athaan ends
I have a question about the azan. One of our imams told us not to enter the toilet when you are hearing it. People like me, who perform ablution in a bath with an attached toilet (three-in-one), have I to wait till the azan is over? Also, I hear the azan from two mosques. If I give time for the first one to be finished, then the second one will start... More

Combining prayers to avoid OCD in ablution
Assalaamu alaykum, I suffer from continuos Waswaas (devilish whisperings) regarding ablution, so it takes a lot of time and mental pressure for me to perform ablution each time. Can I combine the Thuhr and ‘Asr and the Magrib and ‘Ishaa so that I can pray two prayers with one ablution till I get rid of this OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)?

Here at our local masjid, there is a tendency that whoever has a problem, like sickness, drought, etc., comes to the imam and asks him to request the believers to recite Surat Al-Faatihah for them after the prayerso that Allaah, The Exalted, may sort out the problem. Is this according to the Shariah, or is it just a fabrication?

Combining prayers due to old age
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Praise be to Allaah, my maternal grandmother is over 100 years old. She prays some prayers before their defined time. She prays the ‘Ishaa prayer along with the Maghrib prayer, and the ‘Asr prayer along with the Thuhr prayer. My question is: can she continue praying this way due to her age? When.. More

Combining prayers without valid reason
A long time ago, I used to combine prayers together; I did this out of ignorance. My question is: were those prayers valid? And if not, then what should I do now? I used to shorten the prayers as well. Someone had told me that it was permissible to combine prayers if someone could not pray on time, so I assumed, as he did not mention anything about.. More

Imaam unable to prostrate leading prayer
We need a ruling. Our imam is a memorizer of the Quran, but he has a medical problem and is currently unable to prostrate. He is the imam for the community, but he has undergone surgery on his knee. The other option is to have others, who make mistakes while reciting the Quran,lead the prayer.

Assalaamu alaykum. Suppose that there is only one door and that door is beside the first row of a prayer hall. Some space has to be kept in the far right side of the first row in order to be able to pass. If someone comes and stands alone in the second row though there is space for one man to stand in the first row given that he has to leave space so.. More
