Sheikh, in my locality in all the mosques the taraweeh prayer is prayed 20 rakah and is prayed very very fast.it is difficult to make out what is being recited.isnt it an insult to the quran to pray in such manner. The complete 20 rakah within 50 minutes. So in this case is it better to pray with them i.e along with the imam or should i pray in my house with my brother and other family members with jamaat (as im not hafiz of quran we will be reciting only what is known to us).

Prayer
24 Mar

It is best to do both. Otherwise, pray in the masjid even if it is too fast.

When we go to public washroom wearing shoes it may catches urine drops. If those small/tiny drops on shoes or dried up in wind, then is it permissible to pray on those shoes?

Prayer

If you are sure that your shoes came in contact by these drops, you can’t pray with them unless you wash your shoes. If you stepped on them, this is different as walking cleans the soil of your shoes.

I visited a mosque for Jumu’ah prayers and while praying I noticed that the women were not covering the lines but forming new lines (saf) while the elderly women who sat on the chairs were also not in line but had their own line at the backI know that its not right and that lines must be covered but I need your explanation on this so next Friday I can go and explain this to them.

Prayer
24 Mar

The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam used to order people before every prayer to straighten the lines and narrow the gaps. You should tell them this or send a paper to the Imam so that he would bring the issue to their attention during the khutba.

I raise my hands in 3rd raka’ah of Witr. I make dua (First I praise Allah then I say darood-e-Ibrahim, then I say dua Qunoot, after that I MAKE DUA IN MY OWN LANGUAGE e.g. O Allah! I thank You for everything, please have mercy on me,guide me to the straight path, have mercy on Musilm ummah, etc. after that I make Quranic supplications.)
