what will I do if I am praying isha where by I should pray 4 raka an I forget an pray 3 what should I do?

Prayer

28 Jun

You must stand up and complete the missing fourth Rakah and then offer two prostrations after Salam. If you didn’t do that, your prayer is invalid as you have dropped a pillar of prayer and you must repeat it.

In our mosque 2 imams alternately conduct taraweeh and after 20 rakaths a new imam who was praying behind in the first row conducts witr. so if I go hone after 20 rakats will I get the reward of praying the entire night?

Prayer

27 Jun

These three imams act like one as this is one masjid. Therefore, by not praying witr with the last one, you lose the reward of praying the full night.

Is there any Sahih hadith which says that “Reciting Ayatul Kursi after Fard Salat will cause a person to stay in Allah’s protection until the next Salat ?

Prayer

25 Jun

I don’t know of such a hadeeth! The hadith is: “Whoever recites Aayatul Kursi after every Fard (Fard Salah),… …only death is keeping him/her from entering Jannah. (As soon as he/she dies, will enter Jannah) (Nisa’i, Ibne Habban, Ibnelsani A’n Abi Amatah Albahili Radiallah Anhu)

someone argued with me today saying i’m confusing taraweeh,qiyamul layl and tahajjud, and that they’re all different, whereas just an hour before that i had seen a vid of yours explaining that there are only two night prayers, qiyamul layl being anything after isha and tahajjud. who gave taraweeh its name then?

Prayer

25 Jun

Scholars say that Taraweeh is a form of night prayer itself (qiyam u-layl) and it is the night prayer of Ramadan.

If in jamat one is following imam, and by the time mamun goes in ruku, he stays for few seconds with imam in ruku, he could not recite complete subhana rabbe yal azeem even one time with imam, and imam says same allah hulemand hameda, is the rakat of mamun valid. mamun stayed with imam for few seconds in ruku but could not complete one time supplication of ruku,

Prayer

25 Jun

The Rakah is valid but he is sinful for delaying and joining in the Imam from the beginning of the ruku.

I lent some money to my brother. Its been more than a year and I am not sure when he will return it. do I have to pay zakat on it

Zakat

Yes. Only if you asked him for it and he refuses to give it back or apologizes for being unable to give it back, only in this case you don’t have to pay zakat until he returns it to you.

Which part of the body should touch the ground first while going down into sujood: hands or knees?

Prayer

24 Jun

Praise be to Allaah. The scholars have differed as to how one should go down in sujood, whether one should go hands first or knees first. According to the Hanafis, Shaafa’is and one opinion narrated from Ahmad, the person who is praying should go down on his knees first, then on his hands. Al-Tirmidhi thought […]

I want to ask if it is permissible to read Qur’an (silent reading without tongue movements) while you are in a state of praying taraweh (ma’mum)? I mean you are following the recital of the Imam in Taraweeh…I come to this question because I saw a lot of people doing this practise in long taraweh prayer.

Prayer

22 Jun

You have to listen to imam’s recitation!

I wanted to know if praying in congregation is obligatory for the traveler

I have seen topic of your witr prayer but one thing was not clear to me. As you said to split witr in 2+1 then should I niyat twice for witr or 2 will become sunnat and 1 will be witr. As you know in Ramadan we pray witr in congregation and after 2 rakah imam say takbir and recite dua qunut. So should I leave the congregation and pray alone the way you prescribed?

Prayer

22 Jun

The niyyah is one and the same.
