I wanted to know how I can pray zuhar prayers when I am in the exam centre. The exam centre is really small. so i wont have a separate vacant place to pray.And by the time i finish my exam and reach home it will already be asar time.

I am really scared about this exam..and have written it a couple of times and wasnt able to get through, Could you advice dua or namaaz, which will help me make dua to clear the exam. .

It is not allowed to pray sitting, you must pray the fardh standing up. You can ask for permission to pray, if it’s not given you can pray after the exam if the time for the prayer did not expire before reaching your home. If you finished exam after the time has expired, combine it […]

In duhr prayer I got only last 1 raka with the imam. Now when I have to complete more 3 rakah, so do I have to say tashahud in this 3 rakah? And if so then in which rakah I have to sit for tashahud?

Prayer

21 Mar

You have to sit for tashahud in the 2nd and 4th rakat, as usual. The rakah your payed with the Imam is your first rakah.

When we are saying dhikr in prayer does it essential to speak the words or its just enough when we move tongue without speaking and is this ruling come under fard salat prayer that recites surah silently? [i mean reciting surah in silent pray, is it essential to utter the words when reciting surah?]

Prayer

Yes, you should pronounce the words, moving the lips( but not aloud).

Actually I am a medical student and we have to give our test in wards so we have to sit with the patients. We don’t get any break. My question is can we pray in naqab if there are non mahram around us? And if we have bench available only and the floor isn’t clean, then can we sit and pray on the bench?!

Prayer

21 Mar

You should find a place to pray that is secluded, and mustn’t pray in public unless as a necessity. In this case, you can keep your face covered and you can pray on any ground whether clean or dirty as long as there is no najasah or impurity that prevents prayer.

When I was younger, I used to sometimes have an issue where I would think that my menses might have started as I would have some discolored discharge and cramps. So I would stop praying, but then it would take a little while longer for my menses to actually begin. Would I have to make up those prayers that I missed or would they be excused since I thought I was already on my menses?

Prayer

21 Mar

Yes, you are excused because of your ignorance. Now, don’t do that again!

I read that reading Ayathul Kursi, before each fard prayer is a Sunnah and this Sunnah helps one to step one level higher to Allah. Is this Hadith Correct?

Prayer

16 Mar

It is an innovation to read it before the Fard prayers.

When stand up from second prostration to another rakah we see some people sit and stand and other people just stand without sitting. Which one is correct?

Sitting for a short pause is sunnah.

Recently I was in a shopping mall in the UK and I had just realised I had just about half an hour until Asr adhan and hadn’t done my dhur salah yet. My mother and aunty had gone off somewhere and I was alone with my freind and we are young. I could not tell the direction to pray in as the sun was blocked. What should I have done? I prayed after, is it accepted?

Prayer

14 Mar

No, it is not! You should have asked any Muslim about the direction or any non muslim about the direction of east or north. Even if you couldn’t find anyone to tell you, you should have made your best to face what you think is the qibla and prayed before the time was over.

If I miss Fajr prayer and wake up after 2 or 3 hours later, do I have to pray Qaza at that time or can I wait ?
