Prayer

We know that in salah we are to straighten the rows and leave no spaces. Does it make a difference whether a child has reached the age of puberty for him to make a new row? In my masjid, we complete the rows, but the Imam orders the kids (12 under) to form a new row leaving a row in front of them empty and not completing the rows that have spaces in..

Prayer

The child who has reached puberty should be a part of the row and does not have to form a new row. Even small children must join the rows as well.

Those who follow Imam Abu Hanifa they say that your Salah is not accepted until and unless you pray Sunnah prayer. How should a person answer them on this? Or what they say is true?

This is totally wrong and baseless. The man who asked the Prophet salla allahu alaihi wa sallam about prayer, the Prophet answered him that there are only five prayers a day. The man said by Allah, I will not add anything to it. The Prophet said that he is in Paradise if he is truthful. […]

In our area we have madarasah where we use to teach quraan to children in that place we use to conduct islamic lecture for ladies at every saturday after maghrib, now we planned to keep jumu’ah salah for ladies in that madarasah where we will not conduct five times of salah, Is it permissible to conduct jumu’ah salah like this?

If the place is needed and there is no masjid, this is permissible.

Can one recite directly from the Qur’an when one is praying Salatul-Duha. I know the scholars have said it is okay to do so when praying Tahajjud.

If you are praying alone, this is OK, but it’s not recommended.

If I recite, for instance, Soortaul ‘Ala in my salaah, and I don’t know the meaning of any of its verses, will I be sinful? Should I recite only those soorahs I know the meanings of (in salaah)?

Knowing their meaning is a sure advantage but it is not mandatory.

The madrasa that I started going to is making me question some things. The older girls over there says that when a woman goes for sajda she shouldn’t lift up her behind in the air and some girls said majority of the people in madrasa are hanafi. What is hanafi?

Hanafi is one of the four schools of thought in Islam. A woman’s prayer is similar to a man’s prayer.
