Prayer

I am aware that we cannot pray the deliberately missed salah. But my question is – I live and work in a non muslim country(India) and I can not pray Asr as my employer would not accept me removing time from work hours for my personal work ,though I pray dhuhr in lunch break. I needed to know, is this considered deliberately missing salah?

It is a major sin to miss salah for no valid reason. You can always go to the toilet and then pray for five minutes and go back to work. You don’t have to go to a special place or to the masjid if work doesn’t permit you. If your current employer does not allow […]

I went to seminar for 15 days to University. The location is 55km from my hometown. It’s also rural area. I’ve been in this university or this place before. We’re given dorms but to eat we travel 1.5km away. When I asked a sheikh about this, he said “you are considered as a traveler and you can shorten and join prayers for 15days but the maximum is 18days.” since then I’ve been shortening the prayers. Is this correct?

If this area is considered by the people of your hometown to be a traveling distance, you may shorten the whole period

Can you please tell me if I can recite Al Fathiha from Qur’an in Fard prayer as I find it very difficult to recite it from my memory because of Waswas. If not what should I do then as it takes me a very long time to complete my prayers.

If this would help you get rid of your wiswas and it is only for a short period of time, this is permissible.

Praying it in home is the most rewardable and it is the sunnah.

What are the rulings on nawafl prayers in general? I pray my regular thuhr on jumu’ah at home as I am a female. After which at the time of live telecast of the jumu’ah at Makkah I pray again following the imam on TV facing my qiblah as nafl. This is a ritual for me every Friday. Is it permissible?

Nafl prayers are voluntary prayers. If you do not pray them you are not sinful, but missing out on great benefits. Praying behind the imam on TV is not permissible.

My husband was on journey and he shortened his prayer. But my brother in-law insisted on performing with jama. He said it is good to pray in jama even if we are travelers. What is your advice on this?

Jum’ah is Friday. Jama is congregational prayer. The question on praying in congregation! The prayer in congregation for the traveler if he is reading near a masjid is a must.

Your prayer is valid and you must ignore these feelings.

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..

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. […]
