Im really confuse of the sunnah prayer for zuhr, 4 rakaat before zuhr? 2 unit x 2? Or 4 rakaat 1 salaah? And can i pray the sunnah (4 before zuhr) at the time when the adhan is done? Thank you shaykh

You pray them as 2 sunnah + 2 sunnah then 4 fard and then 2 Sunnah afterwards. It is permissible to pray the sunnah as soon as you hear the athaan for dhur.

I heard a Hadith in which it was said that Witr should be the last Prayer of the day. If it is so, should we stop praying 2 Units of Nafal at the end of Isha?

It is recommended to make witr the last thing to pray but it is permissible to pray after it.

I went to the masjid near our house to pray for dhuhr, when a get in the masjid,the azan is already done, and i want to pray sunnat. will i still pray the 2 rakaah sunnat that is required before sitting down or i will not and pray the 4 rakaat instead?

You must not sit until you offer the 2 rakat for tahiyatul masjid. If you pray two Rakah sunnah, this suffices as tahiyatul masjid becomes embedded in it.

I want to ask that suppose if I missed one rakah of zuhr prayer in congregation then should i do rafayadain after second rakah of mine or second rakah of imam?

You should do it when you stand up from tashahud to the third Rakah of Imam.

Sheikh my dad is old and blind and now has short memory so when doing wudu for salah can he just do tayamum on the wall because he does not remember where to wash when i have to remind him. And he makes mistakes in salah due to memory please give me answers on these issue.

He must perform wudhu. If he is senile and doesn’t know people, doesn’t know Day from night and doesn’t know ruku from sujood, prayer is not obligatory upon him.

When saying the salaam at the end of the prayer, the worshipper intends three things: -To exit the prayer -To send salaams upon the recording angels -To send salaams upon his fellow-worshippers. So, if we are praying in congregation and I am the last person in the left side of the row, while saying tasleem to the left side where there is one, what should I intend?

Praise be to Allaah.The tasleem or salaam at the end of the prayer is one of its pillars or essential parts, and one cannot end or exit from the prayer without saying it, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (61) and at-Tirmidhi (3) from ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: […]

is it necessary to recite surah fatiha with imam in silent rakah?

It is a pillar and if you don’t, your prayer is void.

Sheikh can you send me the Hadith where it’s forbidden to pray witr like magrib please. Lot of the mosque near me all pray witr like magrib and sit down on the second rakah

Praise be to Allaah. It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed Witr in different ways. He prayed one rak’ah, and three, and five, and seven, and nine. And he prayed three rak’ahs in two different ways, either continuously with one tashahhud, or saying salaam after two rak’ahs […]

I wanted to know when do we have to repeat a rakah in jammat again when joining in the prayer. If i join a prayer and miss the ruku but join in the prayer before sujood do i have to repeat the rakat or not.

If you caught the rukuh, no need to repeat it. If you didn’t catch it, you must offer a new Rakah.

Yes, as this is the best you can do. However, you should never give up and must practice over and over again and you will master it in sha Allah.
