If i need to make-up prayers for 4 years, how do I do it? Any specific way?

You can’t make up for these 4 years. You have to repent, ask Allah for forgiveness and offer as many good deeds as you can.

I had my puberty at the age of 10, I did not observe my obligatory prayers for many years since then. Only a few days back, I started getting the fear of death. What can I do now?

What is gone is gone in prayers. You can’t make up for the prayers missed. You have to observe praying on time and offer as many good deeds as you can and Allah will forgive you.

Can I pray 2 raakah if the khutbah has started during the Juma’a prayer. Some say its OK, while some say that once the adhan is called you are not suppose to pray 2 raakah. Please clarify this confusion for me.

Prayer

If a person enters the masjid after the athan or while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, he must not sit down before praying 2 Rak’ah. This is the instruction of our Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam.

Can you please clarify the implication of reciting a lower surrah in the first rakaah and a higher surrah in the second rakaah. Is it true that you should always recite a higher one in the first raakah and the lower one in the second raakah?

It is permissible to recite different Surahs different to the order of the Quran. This means that is permissible to recite surah 114 and in the second Rak’ah recite surah 113. This was done by the Prophet salla Allahu alahi wa sallam.

In Singapore we only hear adzan at the radio to know the time of all our 5 daily prayers.Are we oblige to repeat the adzan after the muadzin and recite the dua after adzan?

A query regarding witr in Isha prayer.How should we pray witr?

Prayer

26 Mar

Witr means odd number. The Sunnah is to offer witr in 3, 5, 7 or 9 rak’ah. One rak’ah alone does the job. However, the best is to pray it as 3 rak’ah as the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam used to do. You can do this either by praying two rak’ah and then […]

Hanafi madhab has a different form of eid prayer -instead of 7 takbir in first rakah and 5 takbir in second they have 3 in each rakah and in the second rakah the takbir is before ruku and not in the beginning of the rakah..is this an accepted sunnah?

Prayer

26 Mar

This is the Hanafi school’s way of praying it as they report this through Abdulla Ibn Mas’soud, but this is not the most authentic way. Praying behind such a person is valid as he is doing what he thinks is correct and he is following one of the companions of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi […]

I want clarification about the folding pants or sleeves while praying. It is haraam, or just not allowed or it is permissible.

Prayer

Haram and not allowed are the same. Folding the sleeves is not permissible unless there is a justification for it. Folding the trousers must be done throughout the day and not only for prayer purposes as having them below the ankle is a major sin.
