Pausing between Tasbeeh in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. O sheikh, I was wondering about an action of the Sunnah in the prayer regarding pausing during recitation. I know that it is from the Sunnah to pause after each Quran verse that is recited in the prayer. My question is: is it also from the Sunnah to pause in other areas of the prayer, such as when you..

Making up for prayers missed deliberately
Assalaamu alaykum. I beg you to send me a new fatwa for my case. I want to make up for the missed prayer that I left deliberately because of the evidence from the hadith. However, I believe that an ignorant person does not have to make up past prayers except for the current one. Is it permitted for me to onlymake up for the prayer that I missed deliberately.. More

When to pray pre-prayer Sunnah if one missed congregational prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. If I miss the Thuhr prayer with the congregation in the masjid, am I still able to pray four units of prayer before praying the Thuhr prayer by myself, or is it too late? For example, the prayer in congregation is at about 11:50, but if I miss the group prayer and pray at 12:30 by myself, can I still pray the additional voluntary.. More

Difficulty of using fractured thumb in ablution and prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh, Shaykhs. I suffered a 'hair line fracture', as mentioned by a specialist, in my right thumb. I am taking pain killers, but I should not touch that area and completely avoid any stress to it. Following are my questions about it.
In ablution, I am facing difficulty when wiping my head, as the thumb.. More

Turning off mobile phone on floor while praying
Assalaamu alaykum. Suppose that a man keeps his android mobile on the floor in front of him without putting it on silent. Then he starts praying in congregation. After a while, the mobile starts ringing while the imam is reciting. How should he stop it?

Making up missed prayers in Hanbali school
I just have two clarifications with reference to fatwa no. 334915:
a) You mentioned the Hanbali view with regards to Qadaa’(making up for missed) prayers, though I was under the impression that the Hanbalis viewed the one who misses prayers intentionally (even if out of laziness) as a disbeliever. Is the Mu‘tamid (relied upon) opinion within.. More

When to say Takbeer if one sits for Jilsatul-Istiraahah
When should I say Takbeer (saying: "Allahu Akbar") while getting up after an odd Rak‘ah (unit of prayer) for the next Rak‘ah? Should I say it before Jalsatul-Istiraahah or after it?

Missing congregational prayer to stand guard
Assalaamu alaykum. Oftentimes, guards/policeman stand and supervise while the congregation is praying the obligatory prayer. Once the prayer has ended, they pray by themselves. Is that ok?

Resident praying behind imaam who is traveling and shortens prayer
I am resending my question about the prayer. I was with co-workers in an office. A few of these co-workers came from another place that is like over an hour away. We were praying as a congregation for the Thur, but one of those co-workers who lives a bit far was leading the prayer. I thought that we were going to pray 4 units of prayer, but we only.. More

Sitting for the last Tashahhud without reciting it
Assalaamu alaykum. Is it true that according to the Hanafi fiqh, if one sits in the final Rak‘ah of the prayer for a duration in which Tashahhud can be recited, his prayer is valid even if he does not recite it? I have Waswasah(obsessive whisperings) regarding the pronunciation of the Tashahhud. Can I follow this opinion till I get rid of this Waswasah?

Making mistake in reciting Tashahhud
Assalaamu alaykum. Does saying "assalamu alaina wala" by mistake instead of "assalamu alaina wa ala" in the Tasahhud annul it?

Where to look when praying while sitting
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh, respectedShaykhs. Where should I look in prayer when I pray sitting and when I pray mixed (standing and sitting in the same prayer, depending on the degree of pain/weakness)? Should I look at my lap, as that is what is in front of me when I prostrate while sitting on a chair? I do that because I read.. More

Praying individually while congregational prayer is held
Assalaamu alaikum. If someone prays the ‘Asr prayer at the masjid (or in an office prayer room) on his own while the main congregational prayer of ‘Asr (which is lead by the regular imam) is being held, is his prayer valid?

Slight movement in prayer is pardoned
If I pray normally and shake or quiver while bowing or in another pillar of the prayer but wait, let us say 2-3 seconds, is my prayer okay? I ask because it is difficult to stop all movement in the pillars of the prayer. And what if someone would swing during the whole pillar of the prayer whilst standing?

Joining congregation praying 'Ishaa thinking they were praying Maghrib
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. Please, if I joined a congregation to observe the Magrib prayer after the congregation prayed one unit of prayer while it was unknown to me dat they were praying the ‘Ishaa’, which is four units of prayer, what happens to my prayers?
