Number of rak'ahs in Taraweeh in Hanafi School
Assalaamu alaykum shaykh. I am a new follower of ahle-hadith from India. Some hanafi people here argue that only the 20 rak'ah taraweeh is from the Sunnah. I know that there are other hadiths in Al-Bukhaari where the prophet prayed 11 and 13 rakah's Taraweeh/Tahajjud. I also know that here are some hadiths in Muwatta Imam Maalik where Umar, may Allaah..

Sujood outside of prayer for supplicating
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. I am Mohamed Hafees; I have some questions; please give me the answers. Can I do separate sujuds (prostrations) (meaning, outside of the prayer), and can I make supplications in separate sujuds? Is it from the Sunnah or not? If it is not from the Sunnah, then am I allowed to do that?

Performing Fajr congregational prayer ten minutes before sunrise
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in Bangladesh. There is an uncommon practice here in the mosques. That is, most of the mosques here pray the Fajr congregational prayer right before sunrise (ten minutes before only). As a result, many a times, when I finish the congregation, I see that the daylight has appeared! If I accidently miss one raka'ah (unit of prayer),.. More

Validity of prayer behind the Murji'ah
Praying behidn the Murji'ah is not allowed! It was narrated from Imam Muhammad bin Aslam that he said: “I heard Yazid ibn Harun say, “Whosoever is a caller/scholar of irjaa’, the prayer behind him has to be repeated.” [Al-Laalika’i 5/1067] Does this mean that that the Murjiah are disbelievers! May Allaah reward you Shaykh.

Praying in a studio room
Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. I was wondering; in a regular room for sleeping and maybe even cooking, where there is a basin from which one can get flowing water and one makes wudu in this basin, washes parts of his body and brushes his teeth, and so on; is the prayer made in this room invalid? May Allaah reward you.

Going to another mosque if one missed the Friday prayer in the nearest one
Assalaamu alaykum. May Allah reward you. Please, if I go to the mosque and discover that I have missed the Friday prayer, can I then pray the Dhuhr prayer there and then, or is it obligatory for me to go to another mosque that prays the Friday prayer later than the first mosque even if that involves having to use means of transport?

Greeting a mosque or graveyard when passing by them in a car
Assalaamu alaykum. Thank you for a wonderful informative forum. My question is: Is it permissible or is it required to greet a mosque as you drive pass it, or greet a graveyard when you drive past it? We have been doing that ever since we were young, and I wanted to know the significance of it. Wassalaam.

Assalaamu alaykum. I am an 18-year-old girl. When I pray, my knees get hurt. Then they turned darker than usual. Also, the top of my forehead became darker, which is known as 'zabebet l salah'. My question is: can I pray on my bed or put a thick cloth on the floor in order to avoid the harm?
