Prayer

I see that many women pray with hands covered and sometimes not covered. I used to cover my hands until I read that there is a difference of opinion. Some say its an obligation while others say it is not. Can you please tell me what is the correct ruling? Should I cover my hands or should I not cover it?

The face and hands must not be covered while praying unless there is a fear that non Mahram might be looking.

Is it necessary to recite in salah, the surah in the same sequence as it comes in Quran or can recite randomly? For example in fajr if I start with surah A’la, can I recite surah Yaseen in the second rakat or it must be surah Teen or any surah after A’la?

When I do salah, I always forget how much rakah I did, have I already done sujood or not, and other problem about memory too. I found a way to overcome this problem, example when I do first raka’ah in salah I quickly look something,example pencil, so when I got confusion I can remember the pencil and so I know I am in first rakah. Is this is bid’ah?

It is a Bid’ah as it is not part of the Salah! However, you should work harder on concentrating!
