Confused about women leading the prayer
My wife is a new convert to Islam, she is a English woman and I'm doing my best to help her understand Islam with the little knowledge that I know hoping that God accepts from me. Upon hearing that a Muslim woman is going to lead the Friday prayer for men and women in some US mosque, encouraged by the voices of some associations that fight.. More

Praying behind a person who is making up a missed part of the prayer
My question is regarding Salat. 'Umar entered the mosque and finds that they have started. So at the end 'Umar will have to continue the Salat. Another man Ali entered the mosque and finds that 'Umar was praying alone. Can he join 'Umar in the Salat and take 'Umar as an Imaam knowing that 'Umar was just continuing his Salat from another..

His job makes it difficult for him to pray Thuhr or Asr in the Masjid
I live in the United States, and Al-Hamdu Lillaah, I take praying Jamaa'h in the Masjid very seriously and there's nothing I hate more than missing the Jamaa'h. Al-Humdu Lillaah, I've been consistent in praying Fajr and Ishaa in the Masjid. Unfortunately, because of work, I miss either Thuhr or Asr (Jamaa'h). I have an hour lunch break which.. More

How to pray when joining the congregational prayer late
When one joins the congregational Salaat and has missed one Raka'h, should he read the Tashahhud and other Du'a in the last Raka'h behind the Imaam or should he stay quiet as he will have to replace the missed Raka'h and recite the Tashahhud again? .. More

Difficulty praying in congregation due to distance to mosque
I understand that praying in congregation in a mosque is Waajib. However, the nearest mosque to my house is about 10 minutes drive (sometimes more if the roads are busy) and I do not hear the Athaan. I sometimes find that time does not allow me to do my Asr in the mosque then come home and then return for Maghrib because of the distance... More

Missed two Rak'ahs of congregational Asr prayer while he was travelling
One day I was travelling and I went to the Masjid to pray Asr. Because I was late to the congregation, I caught only the last Raka'h. After the Imam said the salaam I got up and pray only 1 more Raka'h. Was my prayer valid or should I have prayed 3 more Raka'h?

Proper way of offering the prayers
For some days I'm offering Salat at home because the Imaam is a blind follower of a particular Madhab. He renounced those who say Aameen loud at the end of Surah Faatihah, and raise hands before Ruku' and Sujood. Ironically enough he claimed these Sunnah acts as innovation while redeemed himself standing on the right path of Sunnah, though he.. More

Prayed in a line that was in front of the Imaam leading the prayer
I prayed Maghrib prayer in a mosque. As the mosque was completely filled, I along with some other persons prayed in an open room which is attached to mosque (within the mosque, i.e. in between both rooms there is a wall) where we can hear voice of the Imaam. Later, we came to know that the line in which we prayed is ahead of the line where.. More

Women praying in congregation led by a woman
I am asking again the same question. A group of women pray only Taraaweeh not 'Ishaa Salat at home and Qur'aan Hafiz lead the Taraaweeh, they all make one raw and perform Taraaweeh Salat like a Jamaa't. They all want to finish reading a Qur'aan in this way. Is it acceptable according to Sunnah or not? I will appreciate of your time and reply... More
