When to say 'rabbana wa laka al-hamd' in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. It has been mentioned that the Sunnah is for the one following the imam in prayer to not say, 'Sami' Allaahu liman hamida', so when does he start saying, 'Rabana wa laka Al-Hamd'? Should he start saying it in the upright position or while coming up? I hope that you understand what I mean? May Allaah reward you.

Placing right hand over left hand in prayer not obligatory
Assalaamu alaykum. Please do not cite other fatwas as I do not understand! In Fatwa no. 324355, you say, "Placing the right hand over the left hand in prayer is a Sunnah and is not obligatory." Is that true? Do you have any hadith(s) regarding the matter? Can we pray while our left hand is over the right hand?

Looking at index finger in Tashahhud
I am aware that one must look at the moving forefinger during Tashahhud. Do we have to start looking at it from the words, "At-tahiyyatu till the salaam continuously," or from the words, "At-tayhiyatu lillahi..." to the words "wa Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasullulah," and then look back at the place of prostration? Another related question is: Is the.. More

What to say in Rukoo' and Sujood
Assalaamu alaykum! I sent you two questions, but you did not answer me and said that there are already similar questions. However, that is not true! The answers that you gave me did not answer my question. Please, I need an answer. I am not pleased with the answer because you linked me to other questions which did not answer my question! You can look.. More

When to say Takbeer in transition from standing to Rukoo’ in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I read the following on https://islamqa.info/en/82627 concerning the Takbeeraat of movement: "So he should start saying Takbeer (saying: Allaahu Akbar) when he starts to bow and end it before he reaches the bowing position so that his Takbeer comes between the two postures of standing and bowing." But how about if you raise your hands.. More

Reciting Soorah in inaudible congregational prayer
The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,was performing the Thuhr prayer when a person praying behind him began to recite “Sabbih Isma Rabbik Al-A’la.” Upon completing his prayers, the Messenger, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,asked who that was. The person identified himself, so the Messenger, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa.. More

Saying Aameen loudly after Faatihah
How can we prove that saying ameen out loud after the Faatihah was a regular practice of the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,and not something that he did only at the initial stages of teaching how to perform the prayer (as claimed by the Hanafis)? How can we prove that this practice of saying "ameen" loudly was not abrogated?

When it is obligatory to repeat the prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. I asked a question yesterday regarding wiping over the socks during Wudu' (fatwa 2614667), and I thank you so much for the very swift response. It was a referral to another fatwa that covered half of the question. The other half of the question was not clearly addressed, and I feel that I probably should have been.. More

Moving pointed finger in tashahhud
Could it be that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,moved his finger in the prayer due to old age and not being able to keep it still, like it was reported from 'Aa'ishah, that he, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,would sit in the prayer in his old age? This would explain why Waa'il, a Companion from Yemen who spent little time with the Prophet,.. More

How Imaam Maalik extended his index finger in tashahhud
In fatwa no. 276157, you mentioned the reason why Maalik pointed with the palm facing left in the Tashahhud; is this what Maalik saw the people of Madinah do, and was this Maalik's opinion or the opinion of those who came later in his school? Was Ibn Abi Zayd the first to mention this type of pointing in his Risalah?

Pointing index finger between prostrations
We read in the Silsilah that Al-Albaani said that as far as he knows Ibn Al-Qayyim was the first to hold the legality of pointing between prostrations. Is it true that pointing at this time was never reported from any of the Salaf? Also, is Abdur-Razzaq As-San'ani considered weak when narrating alone from Ath-Thawri?

Passing in front of person praying sunnah to join congregational prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. (1) Suppose that someone is praying a voluntary prayer while the iqaamah (second, small call to prayer) is being called. Is it permissible for me to pass in front of him to join the congregation? (2) If someone prays without a sutrah (an object that prevents others from passing in front of the praying person within his praying area).. More
