pls is it right for mothers to bring their young child (male) to the masjid and even put them in the sahu?

Prayer

Children should come when they are seven and they should be standing next to their parents so that they wouldn’t move or disturb others. But if the boy is ten or so and the way he looks at women is a bit unchildish, he shouldn’t be allowed in the prayer hall of women.

If in a silent Rakah, the Imam goes into Ruku before the follower finishes Surah Al-Faatihah, is the Salaah of the follower affected if he simply goes into Ruku straight away despite knowing that he has enough time to finish the Surah and still catch up with the Imam in Ruku?

Prayer

He must finish the Fatiha quickly or his Rakah is invalid.

If someone forgets to say bismillah after seeking refuge in the prayer does he have to make sujood as sahu. If he is praying behind an imam does the imam make it up?

A sister is on journey (above 200 km) on the train. She reaches ground after Maghrib has come. So it would be allowed to shorten her prayers in shā Allāh (Dhuhr 2 rakat and 2 Asr and is able to join them together during the train drive. Please correct me if im wrong). But here is the problem: There are everywhere non-Mahram around and there is no place safe in the train to pray. Also there is no one to look for her back. Is she allowed to pray the shortened Dhuhr and Asr in the train while sitting since she fears harm from the disbelievers.

Prayer

07 Oct

It is not permissible for her to travel without the companionship of a male mahram! If she fears harm, she can pray sitting down.

Ya sheikh during Qiyam i read from a mushaf. After I read a couple of verses, i then read the translations in my mind in order to get understanding of what i recite. Is this permissible, because i don’t speak arabic

You must not do that as reading the translation nullifies you prayer!
