Prayer

Is it allowed that the hands are covered from my long head scarf during prayer, (I’m not wearing gloves) so just face can be seen (there are no non mahrams just me alone)?

Shiekh in Sunan Abu dawood 1014 , it says that the prophet(PBUH) offered 2 rakahs of prayer, and when a person asked him “has the prayer been shortened?”, he offered 2 rakahs and made 2 prostrations at the end. Iam confused, what does this hadith mean?why did the prophet( (PBUH) offer 2 prostrations at the end? did he repeat the prayer?

ANSWER: The prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam only offered 2 rakah of thuhur thinking that he offered 4! When this was brought to his attention, he came down and offered the remaining 2 and then offered forgetfulness prostrations because he added salam after the 2nd rakah which is not from the prayer. https://www.assimalhakeem.net/2015/12/02/sujood-as-sahu-prostrations-of-forgetfulness/

I get up at 3am for tahajud, but the azan for fajr is given at 545am. So sometimes i lie down for a while to rest but fall asleep and miss my fajr prayer. So i offer it after i wake up in the morning at about 8am or 9 am. Is it fine? Or should i miss tahajud?cuz somebody said preferable time of tahajud is 3am

Sheikh,I heard that we have to recite ikhlas,falaq,nas 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the evening..So I used to recite ikhlas,falaq and nas 3 times after my fajr prayer and 3 times after my maghrib prayer..but someone told me that it’s an innovation..he told me we have to recite ikhlas,falaq and nas 1 time after fajr prayer and 1 time after maghrib prayer,not 3 times.. is it true???
