One of my friends is Hafiz and leads Traveh prayer. During Traveh his intention was two rakah but he forgot and got up for third raka. No body behind him pointed out mistake. He realized it at third raka and then completed the forth raka also. After he concluded the prayer with sajda sahv. Will it be considered two raka or four raka? Please clarify?

He was wrong in adding the fourth Rakah and he should have sit immediately as the extra third Rakah was invalid!

I saw your vedio about witr salah and got to know that it should not be similar to magrib salah.While praying witr i pray the first two rakhas normal and then sit down for tashahud and pray the third rakha and then tashahud and tasleem.but in the third rakha i recite another surah after suratalfatihah and then qunoot which is different from magrib prayer.Is this a right practice?

By praying three Rakah with two tashahud and two tasleems at the end, this is like Maghreb whether you offer qunoot or not!

My query is,my husband has a few job offers, so can I do istikhara before he finalises on a job? Is doing istikhara for someone else, or on behalf of someone allowed?

Prayer

No you cannot make istikhara on behalf of someone else. Each person makes istikhara for themselves when making a decision. You only make Duaa for him.

You have to give 2.5% of the value of today and you must repent to Allah and express sincere remorse as you are committing one of the major sins in Islam as dealing or assisting in RIBA is a major sin.

As we pray taraweeh and witr in the masjid with imaam, i couldnt actually pray tahajjud after a small nap as i prayed witr with the imam. so can i have intention of praying taraweeh when the imam praying witr and after the last one rakah tashahudd can i complete it as a two rakkah taraweeh and go home and do the tahajjud and witr with my convinience?

This is possible but I wouldn’t recommend it as it would open a door for Satan to make you feel boastful. People will know that you want to pray more at home. It is best to offer witr with the Imam and then you may pray as many as you want at home without repeating your […]
