I would like to ask some other things regrding Salah, many Muslims of our area, say that we shouldn’t do rafadayn i.e. Raising hands before and after ruku and in the starting of third rakah, and the say it is mentioned in Sunan At-Trimidhi, and Abu Dawood from Abdullah ibn Masud (RA) that Prophet Muhammad (saw) raised his hands only once in Salah, only in starting. I have confused, should I do rafadayn or not?

Though it was reported that Ibn Mas’oud may Allah be pleased with him said that, it was also reported in Saheeh Al Bukhari that Ibn Omer said that the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam used to raise his hands in the positions you have mentioned. Therefore, the hadeeth of Ibn Omer is more authentic […]

The Sunnah is to offer 11. You can add more to that. Praying less than 11 is permissible but you will lose the reward

Sheikh, among our Pakistani community there is a very big confusion going on about Witr prayer. Below are the confusions:The witr in which 2 Raka’s are prayed separate and one separate cannot be prayed because we are Hanafis and we can’t pray like that.There was some shaikh who said that the person should not do salaam once two Rakas are over. Keep yourself in Tashahud and once imam starts that third raka (I.e. Single raka) you stand up and join them. Please tell us how to pray witr?

Prayer

26 Mar

It is forbidden to pray 3 rak’ah witr like Maghrib as the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam forbade this. Therefore, you should offer salam with the Imam when he concludes the second rak’ah and then pray one single unit with him for witr.
