Prayer

As I’m doing an alimiyah course online from out of my home country, salah time is different…dye to classes my maghrib salah gets late almost by hour… but pray within the time. Am I sinful? Which one should I give priority to salah or knowledge of deen?

ANSWER: Of course you must first give preference to praying on time. What is the use of knowledge if it is not being practiced? This is the knowledge of the hypocrites.

While in prayer if by mistake you started reciting something which is not supposed to be recited at that position do you stop as soon as you realize or complete the verse and then stop? For example, reciting Alhamdulillahi Rabbil… but you’re in the sitting position and supposed to recite Attahiyyatu Lillaahil… so should one stop immediately or after completing the verse?

Sheikh, in the first rakah of Zuhr behind the Imam, I forgot to recite the Fateha, and out of ignorance I made Sujood as Sahu. Should I have instead stood up and prayed the first rakah again in this case?

My university has a prayer room (small room). When it’s time for Adhan, is it permissible for me to switch off the recording and start doing LIVE adhan (Saying Adhan). Which is better? Live Adhan or recorded Adhan?

ANSWER: You can’t do that on your own as you do not own the university! Take permission from the administration and if they allow then it’s best to give live athan than from the recorded one.
