Please tell me the right method of Witr Salah and right Du’a-e-Qunoot?Du’aa’ al-Qunoot in Witr prayer

Prayer

25 Mar

Praise be to Allaah. Firstly: Du’a’ al-Qunoot is recited in the last rak’ah of Witr prayer, after bowing, but if one recites it before bowing it doesn’t matter. But reciting it after bowing is better. Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] said in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (23/100): With regard to qunoot: there are two extreme views and one […]

When I am at college, I have to pray there. So, when I used to pray, I was told the direction of prayer was towards the corner, so I prayed towards there, or just followed everyone elseBut, soon started to get doubts about where the qiblah actually was. I carried on praying, but afterwards I got my own campus to check thedirection, but for some reason, it didnt seem to work properly. So my freind had her phone on her, and she checked for the direction with that, and it was somewhere else, but sort of close to where I used to face whilst praying. Were my prayers valid?

Prayer

25 Mar

The prayers are valid.

In the musalah near by my house salatul Isha is offered in congregation. But there is a hadeeth of RasoolAllah salallaahu alayhi wassalam that he said the best time to pray isha is nisful layl?So I end up not going to congregation for Isha. I stay at home expectingto pray at the best time. Am I doing something correct in accordance with the Quran and the sunnah and the understanding of the Salafus-Salih? I sometimes neglect praying in congregation where I get thoughts telling me It will take up some time and what not. The musalah is nearby 5 minute walk. Also a good student of knowledge said that the most reward in the salah is being there before the imaam goes into takbiratul ihraam? Is this correct?

Prayer

25 Mar

Surely you are wrong in what you are doing. You must pray Isha with the congregation even if they pray it immediately after the Athan. You must not postpone it until the middle of the night unless you are a woman or you are with a congregation in another masjid.

Today I woke up late and missed Fajr congregation. So I prayed at home the Fard prayer only during sunrise. Is my prayer valid? I found one hadith which states something like, no one should pray during sunriseI prayed Fajr at that time based on the hadith that whenever a person wakes from sleep must pray. Please clarify.

Prayer

25 Mar

The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said that if a person oversleeps a prayer or forgets it, he should pray it as soon as he remembers it as there is no expiation for missing the prayer except this. From this hadeeth, scholars said that sleeping and forgetting a prayer can be expiated by praying […]
