Prayer

My exam is starting at 12 noon and end at 3 pm. Dhuhr is around 1pm. Am I allowed to skip salah because I am doing exam and pray immediately after the exam? Asr time is 4pm.

Prayer

26 Dec

This is permissible for necessity.

The least for any prayer to be accepted, sunnah prayer or fard prayer, is to recite al Fatiha in every rakah. Am I correct?

Prayer

26 Dec

Correct. Reciting a surah after Al Fatiha is a sunnah and not mandatory.

In the first 2 rakas of any salah, surah Fatiha is recited and then it is sunnah to recite a surah. In the last 2 rakas of any salah, only surah Fatiha is recited and the sunnah is not to recite any surah after that. Is this correct?

Prayer

26 Dec

The Surah in the first two rakah is sunnah but if a Muslim skips it, the prayer is valid. And if he adds a surah in the last two rakah, this is permissible.

If I’m uncertain for example in salah that whether I’m on 3rd rakat or fourth rakat. Islam says to skip 3rd rakat because I should not pay attention to doubts after being certain about something. But Islam also says to pray 3rd rakat so I could go with what I’m certain about. Could you please tell me which way is correct?

Prayer

25 Dec

If you are in doubt, the doubt is on the fourth rakah because you are certain that you have prayed three but doubting the fourth one. In this case, pray the fourth as it is the doubtful one.

In some malls in we can here the imam leading the prayer in the ladies section. If I have started the fard prayer and then I hear the imam should I have to continue or break and join the congregation?

Prayer

25 Dec

You are not obliged to pray in congregation as a woman. You can pray on your own and leave.

During salah while in ruku, my awrah uncovered, but it was a very very small amount, and as soon as I realised it was uncovered I covered it, was my salah valid?

Prayer

21 Dec

If it was slightly uncovered, this doesn’t invalidate the prayer.

Sometimes I perform salah in masjid on weekdays. My question is when I sat for first tashahud I read Attahiyaathu and finished but the Imam was sitting longer and I was silence, I don’t know what to read ? I need your help.

Prayer

13 Dec

You can make as many Duaa as you want .

It is absolutely haram to close the eyes when praying. At times when standing I tend to close my eyes due to persistent headaches because it helps me to concentrate on what I am reciting. Is this ok?

Prayer

06 Dec

It is not permissible to close your eyes during salah unless it is something distracting you on a particular Salah and not as a usual habit.

While I sit for tashahhud should I look at my finger or to the place of prostration? Some told me from the time I say shahada till the tasleem I have to see my finger. Is it true?

Prayer

25 Nov

It is Sunnah when pointing to look at your finger.

In silent prayer, if imam goes to ruku before I finish surah fatiha, then do I have to cut my recitation of surah fatiha and go to ruku immediately or do I have to finish surah fatiha recitation and then go to ruku?

Prayer

25 Nov

You must quickly finish it and follow the Imam in Ruku.
