Can we claim with 100% certainty that doing Raf'ul Yadayn (raising hands before and after Rukoo’) was never abrogated? Or is it an issue about which difference of opinions is permissible?

We are constructing a new mosque in our village, just next to the old mosque. The old mosque is closed now, but it has not been demolished yet, and we have already started praying in the new mosque, which has been under construction foralmost three years now. However, some scholars and a group of people in our village say that we have to connect the.. More
Our honourable scholars, assalaamu alaykum, my question is about this hadith: Whoever catches a Rak'ah (unit of prayer) of a prayer before its time has expired has caught the entire prayer in its time.
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,said, "Whoever catches one Rak'ah of the prayer has caught the prayer.".. More
Assalamu alaykum. I was told recently that in the pronunciation of Takbeerat Al-Ihraam, onemust pronounce it 'Allaahu Akbar' and not 'Allaahuwakbar' or else it invalidates your prayer. I have much difficulty in telling the two apart, sometimes I repeat my Takbeerat Al-Ihraam because I cannot tell whether I said it right or not.

Is he sinning while.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I recited the Qunoot supplication wrongly in the Witr prayter; I missed one word, then I started it anew but still recited it wrongly. Is my Witr valid, or should I pray it again? Also, does the invalidity of previous prayers affect the validity of other prayers?

Assalaamu alaykum. Shaykh ibn Baaz, in his book on the prayer, supports the view that Jalsat-Ul-Istiraahah(sitting before standing up) is recommended but that the person should not push himself up from the ground while standing up, but the hadith in which Jalsat-Ul-Istiraahahis mentioned says that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,pushed himself..

The answer that you gave me in Fatwa No. 2627987, by referring to other two fatwas,does not answer my question. My question was regarding the Taraweeh prayer; the imam does not give us enough time to recite the Faatihah and immediately starts the verses/chapters in high speed in order to complete the Quran in 27 days. Because of the loud volume and.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I know that when starting the prayer by saying Allaahu Akbar, you must not leave a gap between saying Allaahu and Akbar, but if I left a gap accidentally in a transitional Takbeer (saying Allaahu Akbar), would that be considered an incorrect pronunciation? Would I need to repeat it in a correct way? Additionally, I asked a question.. More
