The imam at the local mosque just got fired for not performing his job duties. He performs only one prayer, the Friday prayer, and never shows up for the other prayers, claiming that no one is there.

Placing hands above navel in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I have read in a book written by a good scholar that the Arabic word Sadr (chest) refers to the portion of the body from below the throat to the belly.

Ruling on not observing Tuma’neenah after Rukoo’
Assalaamu alaykum. A relative regularly misses some obligatory parts of the prayer, like standing for a definite time after bowing and so on. Whenever I tell her about that, she denies it and gets angry. Sometimes, she even thinks that her prayer is valid. What is the ruling on her? Is she a disbeliever for continuing like this? How can I advise her?

Reciting verses from different Soorahs in same Rak'ah
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh.

Assalaamu alaykum. There is a hadith that says that Ibn ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, used to throw pebbles at people who did not perform Raf'ul-Yadayn (raising hands before and after Rukoo' [bowing]) in the prayer. Did that not cause a disturbance in the prayer?

Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. A few days ago, I sent you a question regarding my inability to pray voluntary night prayers after sleeping.

However, I was reading some quotes of righteous Imams in Islamqa.com of Muhammad Salih.. More

The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi.. More
