Prayer

Can I read dua from book “hisnul Muslim” during prayer before tasleem?because I have not memorised yet..As if we read from book then our hands were not in a position as they should be in before tasleem

13 Feb

You shouldn’t do that as you can supplicate to Allah outside the prayers

Is leaving sunnah salah a sin?

13 Feb

No, there is no sin.

On fridays we gather in a gym to pray jumuah as our community mosque is small, are we obliged to pray tahiyatul masjid since it is a gym? And how does one pray tahiyatul masjid at the time of maghrib? In the masjid where I pray they start the salah immediately after adhaan

13 Feb

There is no tahiyatul masjid as it is not a masjid. If the Iqamah is called, one must join the prayer and this would suffice for tahiyatul masjid

Can we pray while the Adhan is going on for that prayer?

13 Feb

If you start your prayer after the Athan begins, this is permissible but not recommended

I was going through your post on description of the Prophet prayer. I read the place where you said standing after rukoo, you should leave your hands hanging down while you say same Allah limil hamidan before going down for sujud.But when I told someone who folds his hands ( right hand on left hand, on the chest) after coming up from rukoo instead of letting them hang, he said its correct to fold the hands while you said it should be released to hang. Please explain the more authentic one please

13 Feb

The most authentic opinion is that you should fold

I am going to be traveling for work halal purposes from Tuesday 5am til Friday 7pm from London (UK) to Lichfield (UK) which is over 100 miles away. I will not be driving there so I have no means of transport when I get there.As I am a traveler do I have to offer jumu’ah salaah in the masjid? If I cannot find a masjid for jumu’ah what should I do?

13 Feb

You should investigate and pray In the masjid as this is the greatest prayer of the week. There are buses and taxis.

I was unsure of whether I completed a rakah (in salah), I repeated it but at the end of Salah I forgot to perform the prostration of forgetfulness. Is my Salah valid or should I perform my salah again?

13 Feb

It is valid because you forgot.

During salah if a woman’s arm (above wrist and below elbow or any part of skin) is exposed involuntarily, and she had covered ( with her head scarf) before starting salah but during salah, as performing ruku and prostration it is exposed is her salah valid?

13 Feb

If it was exposed for a short period of time involuntarily, her payer is valid but she must take her precautions next time to ensure this doesn’t happen again

Is there any sunnah prayer before salat al-Jumu’ah? except for the 2 rakah when entering the Masjid. If it is not a sunnah, what should I then do if I am in a masjid, where everybody else do it?

13 Feb

There is no prescribed Sunnah prayer before Jum’ah

I had a discussion with a woman. I told her that there is no excuse for a person for not praying a prayer on time except oversleeping and forgetfulness(and may be other personal special fatwas, like a surgeon). She said I cannot as a women when driving home from work stop at a gas station and pray outside. I said you have to if you know that if you don’t stop before home, you will miss the time of prayer. The real issue here I think is that she is a women. Can a women pray outside where non-mahram can see her or should she pray inside her car or wait till she get’s home? Is there any excuse to miss the prayer time?

13 Feb

She should pray outside standing even if she prays by the side of the road.
