The time for Maghrib prayer lasts until ‘Isha prayer
Is it permissible to repeat the prayer because of not knowing a particular ruling? When I was praying the ‘Asr prayer I had doubts about how many rakats I had prayed, so I performed sujood as-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). But afterwards I learned the right way to do sujood as-sahw. So I repeated my prayer, however I did so about 16 minutes.. More

This thikr is to be said in the prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. The two hadiths below confuse me. I was wondering if what the prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, recommended Umm Sulaim with is to be said within the prayer after the tashahhud, or at any time, or both? Here are the hadiths: Umm Sulaim came to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu.. More

Assalamu alaykum. Respected Sir, there was a renowned islamic scholar who served many years in an islamic institution and was an imam of his native village mosque. He died forty years ago and was buried beside the mosque with the permission of the villagers. His grave was marked with brick that shows its boundaries. Now we need to extend the mosque.. More

Sujood as-sahw according to the Hanafi School
Assalaamu alaykum. We pray behind a Hanafi Imam who, if there is a need to perform sujud as-sawh (prostration of forgetfulness), does it in this manner: After reciting the tashahud [not the darud and du'a ma'surah], he gives salam to the right only and then performs sujud as-sawh and again recites the full tashahhud including darud and du'a ma'sura..

Women following the imaam when praying in the mosque
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in Saudi Arabia, where women go to a mosque to pray when the shops are closed for any prayer. I do go to a mosque to make sure to pray on time. I used to follow the imam although the women are in a separate place, but I later discontinued following the imam after learning that women are are not supposed to follow him. Therefore,.. More

Ahaadeeth emphasizing that the mosque is a place of learning
Please confirm whether the hadithmentionedbelow is authentic or not! The masjids as a place of learning is emphasized: Al-Bukhaari and Muslim related a story of three people who entered the mosque; the Companions were sitting in a circle around the Prophet. One of the three found a place and sat in it, the second sat at the back, and the third went.. More

Ishraaq prayer may not count as Sunnah of Fajr as well
If anyone misses the two-rak'ah (unit of prayer) sunnah prayer before fajr and then offers it after sunrise, will this salah also count as the two rak'ahs of salatul ishraq?

Reciting istiftaah in the prayer is a Sunnah
If we are to use the time for which the imam pauses after the first takbeer for Surah Al-Faatihah, then does that mean that we should give up on the opening supplication when praying behind an imam? I read in a hadith that there is a great reward in the opening supplication.

Praying behind an Imaam who seeks help from the dead
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding the permissibility of praying behind an imam who is an innovator. Near my house, there are two mosques at equal distance apart. One mosque is upon a lot of innovations, like saying the intention out loud before the prayer, reading dhikr (remembrance of Allaah) in unison after the prayer and making mass.. More

Making up for missed prayers if their number is not known
I started praying when I almostturned 16 if my memory serves me correctly. I missed most prayers before that, not all. Even after 16, for some time, I may have missed prayers due to not bathing after a wet dream. I have read that one should make up for the missed prayers out of caution.1- My first question is, from what time? I have an approximate,.. More

Staying up all night to seek knowledge is better than voluntary night prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is the following: which of the two is better, praying at night or staying up late at night to seek knowledge? Also, when did the Salaf (pious predecessors) sleep when they remained awake all night? I do not think that they used to waste the blessings of the morning?

Not attending congregational prayer in the mosque out of fear for oneself
I live in a colony of soldiers, though many civilians are mixed within. Our country is, sometimes, subject to terrorist attacks that may specifically target the police or soldiers, and there have also been some attacks on mosques. As such, according to my father, our mosque is a possible target. Sometimes, for a few days after such an attack, he would.. More
