The brother beside me, May dislike some sunnah in salah, 1)may not know to touch feet,shoulder and feel too clumsy by this and may distract in this case and also 2)when i point finger in the sitting position, 3)saying “ameen” loud,although should i perform these sunnah knowing nereby people dislike it?

I dont speak Arabic but I read Arabic well. But sometimes when I pray I get stuck on some letters – like ض + ع + ح + when they don’t come out right i will try to repeat the word to correct. I dont really have this problem when I recite loudly so because I know how it should be pronounced do i keep attempting to quietly say it right (even if it takes lots + lots of attempts)?

ANSWER: You should not prolong your salah due to correcting your pronunciation in salah. You must try hard to perfect your pronunciation outside your prayers.
