Would mind answering the following:what should a person do if,while in prayer he forgets how many sujud ,he made?Before the person used to either choose that had made two,or would choose that he made only 1 sujud..by guessing.Now does he need to repeat these prayers?The link u sent was helpful,but I am in this doubtful state e.g. when I am in sitting between two sujud,so I have a chanceto do sujud

I have two local masjid, one is ahle hadith and the other deobandi. At the ahle hadith one the imam has recieved naseehah regarding changing the meaning when leading fatiha he says siratala zeeena replacing the thaal with a zaa. Yet he has failed to make the slight change. Islamqa states the salah is not valid. So at which mosque should I pray the congregation. Jazakallahu Khairan

Prayer

Assalamu alaikum wa rehmatAllah, If he is unable to change it, his prayer is valid.

Sheikh, I always forget how many sujud i made,whatt should I do?

Prayer
03 Jun

Assalamu alaikum wa rehmatAllah, If this is a recurring problem in every salah, you need to work on developing khushoo (focus and attention) in your salah. If you are not certain, assume you didn’t perform it and do it and then offer two prostration s of sahu after Salam.

Many a times during congregational prayer I’m not able to say a prophetic supplication after the durud as the Imam says the Tasleem a little too quickly for my liking. So in this scenario should I say the dua and then end my prayer or should I skip the dua and end my Salah quickly with everyone else? The dua costs me 5 seconds extra.

Prayer
03 Jun

Assalaamu alaikum Say it and then offer Salam even if this led to delaying your Salam a little.

Salaam Sheikh, I have a question regarding kazah salah. It has been 5 years since i became baligh and i have only been praying my salah properly for the past 3 years. I would like to know whether i would need to pray the salah that i have missed in the 2 years that i didn’t pray. if i have to make up for my salah is there any proof from the Hadith, sunnah or Quran that backs it up. I have asked many Alimas and Alims this question and they have told me that i do need to read the 2 years of salah that i missed, but they did not have any proof. I only follow something if i have proof from the Quran or Sunnah so in sha allah i hope you can help me with this issue as soon as possible. Jazakallah Khair,

Prayer

Wa alaikum salam wa rehmatAllah,You have to offer lots of voluntary prayers and sincerely repent for the missed prayers. You can’t make them up.
