If you and him were in the position of ruku at the same time, this is a valid Rakah even if you didn’t recite the Fatiha.

If a person joins the imam if he is in ruku has he caught the Rakah in SILENT prayers??? Since it is necessary to recite the surah fatiha….

I’m trying to get over my obsessions.In Salah sometimes I keep getting thoughts that I’m not doing it right.In Sujood the middle part of one finger was not touching he ground & I started getting these thoughts & continued Salah. Then I thought I should have touched the finger to the ground. Is my Salah invalid?

Sheikh I don’t know how to speak Arabic I just know some words in Arabic. In sujood when I make dua I mix English with Arabic. If i make a mistake in the Arabic portion in my dua in sujood and I don’t correct it, is my prayer valid?
