Reciting the Faatihah silently before imaam in congregational prayer
Assalaamu alaykum, Scholars. There is a difference of opinion amongst the scholars as to whether reciting the Faatihah before the imam when he is reciting aloud is obligatory or not. What if I believe that it is recommended and I recite the Faatihah and I complete its recitation before the imam and say "Ameen" twice, one time with my recitation, and.. More

Saying ‘Astaghfirullah’ thrice is prescribed after finishing prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. When I stand to offer the prayer (all five of them), I first used to recite “Astaghfirullah” (I seek the forgiveness of Allah) three times and would then recite “Wajjahtu wajhi...”I want to know whether reciting “Astaghfirullah” in the obligatory prayer is a religious innovation? Allah protect you.

Killing mosquito while praying
I am allergic. When a mosquito stings me, it irritates me a lot and does not stop itching. I cannot stop killing those insects, even during the prayer. Sometimes, the blood which was sucked by the mosquito is spread all over parts of my body when killing them. Do I have to repeat the ablution?

Ash-Shaafi‘i's view on intention before prayer - At-Tirmithi's view on raising hands in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I have two questions:
1. I want to know whether it is true that Imam Ash-Shaafi‘i, may Allah have mercy upon him, held the view of uttering the intention before the prayer. What is authentically proven from him?
2. Some people quote the statement of Imam At-tirmithi on raising the hands in prayer.. More

Repeating the letter ‘r’ in Takbeer and Faatihah in prayer
If I do not do that roll/trill of the 'r' sound in the Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar [Allah is Most Great]) or Surat Al-Faatihah even though I can, is my prayer still valid?

Intention to perform specific prayer is obligatory
Assalaamu alaykum. I prayed the Maghrib in my house, then after more or less 20 minutes, I heard the azan and immediatelywent to the mosque to pray the obligatory prayer. My intention, however, was different from theirs, they prayed the ‘Ishaa’ prayer, while I prayed the Maghrib with them in a congregation, as I had forgotten that I had prayed the.. More

Sitting on heels in Tashahhud does not invalidate prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I hope and pray that you are in the best state of health and faith. I have a question regarding the prayer. Once, during the Dhuhr prayer, during the first Tashahhud, I sat on my heels because I thought that we can sit like that, even though it was my first time doing it. Before, I used to sit on my left foot and set my right foot.. More

Pausing between Tasbeeh in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. O sheikh, I was wondering about an action of the Sunnah in the prayer regarding pausing during recitation. I know that it is from the Sunnah to pause after each Quran verse that is recited in the prayer. My question is: is it also from the Sunnah to pause in other areas of the prayer, such as when you..

Turning off mobile phone on floor while praying
Assalaamu alaykum. Suppose that a man keeps his android mobile on the floor in front of him without putting it on silent. Then he starts praying in congregation. After a while, the mobile starts ringing while the imam is reciting. How should he stop it?

When to say Takbeer if one sits for Jilsatul-Istiraahah
When should I say Takbeer (saying: "Allahu Akbar") while getting up after an odd Rak‘ah (unit of prayer) for the next Rak‘ah? Should I say it before Jalsatul-Istiraahah or after it?

Sitting for the last Tashahhud without reciting it
Assalaamu alaykum. Is it true that according to the Hanafi fiqh, if one sits in the final Rak‘ah of the prayer for a duration in which Tashahhud can be recited, his prayer is valid even if he does not recite it? I have Waswasah(obsessive whisperings) regarding the pronunciation of the Tashahhud. Can I follow this opinion till I get rid of this Waswasah?

Making mistake in reciting Tashahhud
Assalaamu alaykum. Does saying "assalamu alaina wala" by mistake instead of "assalamu alaina wa ala" in the Tasahhud annul it?

Where to look when praying while sitting
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh, respectedShaykhs. Where should I look in prayer when I pray sitting and when I pray mixed (standing and sitting in the same prayer, depending on the degree of pain/weakness)? Should I look at my lap, as that is what is in front of me when I prostrate while sitting on a chair? I do that because I read.. More

Slight movement in prayer is pardoned
If I pray normally and shake or quiver while bowing or in another pillar of the prayer but wait, let us say 2-3 seconds, is my prayer okay? I ask because it is difficult to stop all movement in the pillars of the prayer. And what if someone would swing during the whole pillar of the prayer whilst standing?

Inability to say Takbeerat-ul-Ihraam in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I suffer from anxiety which is so bad that everytime I want to pray the obligatory prayer, I get so anxious that I cannot say the Takbeerat-ul-Ihraam (saying Allaahu Akbar to start the prayer)because my breath is cut off. Sometimes I need one hour for one prayer. I know that Waswasah (obsessive whispers).. More
