Assalamu alaikum I have a question about when we say Salam with the imam, do we say it at the same time as the imam or after the imam has said both his salams
Salaam, it’s better to say it precisely as the imam a does. Meaning when he says first salaam we say the first and when he says second we say second but if you wait and say it after he had done the second that is fine too but but the first way is better as we are supposed to follow the imam in each action
Assalamu alaikum I am a little confused about praying behind an imam and without an imam. 1) for the first two cycles if the imam is reciting surah fatiha loudly we should only listen but what about the 3rd and 4th cycle when imam doesn't recite surah fatiha loudly, should we recite it or should we keep quiet? 2) and in Asar, when imam doesn't recite the surah Fatiha at all in any cycle, should we recite it ourselves or keep quite even in the first two cycles?
Salaam, Your imam is the one doing all the recitation whether loudly or otherwise. We just join the prayer and stay silent in all parts that have to be recited. The imam suffices for the one following. In the sitting both in cycle 2 and 4 you would read your own tashahhud and salawat.
Asalamualaykum Shaykh, When concluding salah and giving salaam towards both shoulders, When I am turning the the head towards my left shoulder to give Salaam, I would start my salaam whilst i am in motion when turning my head to the left shoulder to give Salaam.Does this invalidate the salah? Should I give salaam once my head is fully looking at the shoulder?
The sunnah is not to touch the ears. The blessed Sunnah is to raise the hands sufficient to shoulder height. The touching of the ears is just a way to make sure our hands are raised to the correct height. Otherwise in haste you will see many people come to the mosque stand in line and quickly say Allah Akbar some hardly raise their hands at all and just do a nominal gesture. You do not have to touch your ears as long as your hands are at the correct height.

Hadith are of three types 1) haq hadith. Hadith which sahaba and tabayeen memorised and practised 2) Sahi hadith Again there are groups Sahi hadith of bukari, Sahi hadith of Muslim, Tirmizi so on 3) zaeef Hadith Zaeef hadith of bukari, Zaeef hadith of Muslim, tirmizi and so on Sahi hadith of bukari means, Moulana bukari had imposed some conditions on himself based on conditions he classified hadith as Sahi and zaeef There are many hadith which are zaeef in bukari but are sahee in Muslim and other books depending on their approach. In Islam Qur'an is only book at no.1. There is no No.2,3 or4 book in Islam. Bukari, Muslim and other books are just collection of hadith. (Data book) Hanfism is based on haq hadith. Hanfism is not the product of one person, Abu hanifa had 40 to 50 members in his group, one of the member was Mohammed sirin who was student of 17 sahabas, similarly other members were students of sahaba and elite tabayees. Each member was Hafiz of Qur'an and 2 to 3 lakhs of hadith, they were students of sahaba and tabayi of kufa(kufa was centre of intellectuals, students of sahabas like hazrath Omer,hazrath Ali). Kufa was established as centre of intellectuals by hazrath Omer later was continued by hazrath Ali. Just by reading few haddis you won't become expert, but sure you will become ahlae ade(.5) haddis. Hanfism is the product of around 50 great scholars(student of sahaba,tabayeen+Hafiz of Qur'an+Hafiz of lakhs of haddis) They greatest joke of ahlae adae(1/2) Haddis is they are around 5% but they have more than 50 jamaat among themselves. Thier namaz,akhida, every thing is against Islam, they offer namaz like Jews. They are step brothers of Shia, they do exactly opposite to shia Shia hate Kulfa eh rasideen, Wahabi have I'll feeling about ahlae bait, Now a days they are showing fake love towards Ahlae bait, but if you read their old books it is full of venom against ahlae bait, Even they won't spare hazarth Omer in their books. They even change the books of real Muslim like abu hanifa (r.a), moulana asraf Ali thanvi and moulana Ahmed Raza, Ahlae adae(1/2) haddis are very very cheap scoundrels. Thier policy is blame other groups and make illiterate, illogical,poor, unscientific, innocent People fool and convert them from Islam to ahlae ade (1/2), Abdul wahabi, Saleebi. Most of the hadis use by so called wahabis,ahlae haddis and salafi quote contains the sentence "I saw prophet Mohammad doing this" for example take the case of namaz prophet Mohammad use to pray (nafil namaz)for hours, due to strain he use to change the position of placement of hand, even he untied the hand in qayam, when it was hot and sweating he allowed air to enter his armpit all this positions were recorded in various hadith and as I said the words used by sahaba was " I saw" so it was nafil namaz. Were as hanfis fallow hadith in which sahaba certifies as most preferable method. for example regarding namaz. Masood (r.z) gathers people and announces oh people I will teach you namaz the way prophet offered. In hadis also you will find sahaba offering namaz with some deviation, it was the practice of sahaba to fallow prophet Muhammad in all terms atleast once. So sometime they use to offer namaz in which prophet deviated due to some excuse. Quran guides, it is sign for Muslim and deviation for mentally sick people. Each word of Qur'an has it's significance And Allah knows the enemies of Islam within,each and every word Allah uses has purpose, There are many words better than word hanifa in Arabic but Allah uses it as sign Surah nisa ayat 69 is sign for shia(rafzi), And 3:67 is sign for ahlae haddis (dummy). Quran is time independent.
Assalamualaikum, Jazakallah again for clearing my doubts a couple of weeks ago. I have a doubt regarding joining the imam mid prayer. so for example, Behind imam, I missed the first 2 cycles and then joined the prayer in the 3rd cycle, so after the 4th cycle, when i stand up again for the 2 cycles that i missed, should i pray those cycles as 1st and 2nd (the one i missed) or 3rd and 4th (continuing the salah).
Salaam. The cycles you missed were the 1st and 2nd. However when you stand to complete them, you will read then as your 3rd and 4th by yourself to complete the forth cycle prayer right?? But you will recite the fatiha and another surah in both as you missed the 1st and 2nd so you will reas what you missed. Does this make sense? if it doesn't as again and I will clarify.
@@AhmirNawaz Yes, I understand what you mean, i have to read the 3rd and 4th cycles as 1st and 2nd cycle (the ones i missed). shall i also recite Sana when i stand up to complete my salah?
Salaam, yes you can but you have up to three SubhanAllah before you must make a decision. This is is you are left dumbfounded as to what the next action was. If you forget during an Ayah then you can carry on reciting without stopping so as to not impose a sajda sahwu over due to to lengthy silence
Assalaamulaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I have some questions: For the non-confirmed sunna prayer, does one have to give salams before standing for the third rak'a? I was taught somewhere els that there is a 6 rakat non-confirmed sunna prayer after Maghrib which has 3 sets of salams, and that performing 2 rakat sunna after Maghrib is one of these 3 sets - does that mean the salams are just unique for the case of the 6 rakat sunna prayer after Maghrib?
Salam Alaikum Seikh I am confused ... 1) aren't we supposed to put hands below the navel in Hanafi Madhab? 2) Can you explain why we should raise the index finger only "once" ? because according hadiths and opinions of imams of ohter madhaib , the index finger is up throughout the entire Tashahhud or raised multiple times. (Not trying to debate, really want ot learn).
Salaam, hands go below belly button yes. Index finger and the differences between the madhabs and how to understand hadith is really an academic field that requires deep study. It is not something I can answer in detail. Simply put, all the imams have their own criteria and each is backed up with strong evidence.
Asalamu alaikum Seyyedi, just to confirm the non emphasised Sunnah, you add a surah in the 3rd and 4th cycles after fatiha and in the first sitting after tashahud you add in durood Ibrahimi and a Quranic dua aswell?
When one reaches the statement ‘Ashadu An La ilaha, one should clench the pinky, ring, and middle fingers, place the tip of the thumb on the middle knuckle of the middle finger and raise the pointer finger. When saying ‘ill Allah’ one should lower the pointer finger and leave the hands in that position until the end of the sitting
As-salamu alaykum Sheikh, for my benefit what are the scholarly views on pronunciation in salah in general.If there are unintentional mistakes and potentially changes the meaning, does it render whole salah being void. I know many scholars have difference of views on this but what is the general consensus on this.
Wasalaam, thank you for asking the question. The hanafi opinion is straight forward. As long as you are not deliberately twisting words it doesn’t matter if you mispronounce words wether meaning is changed or not. Again, you don’t need to go back to try and correct every mistake you make if you are one that cannot pronounce words correctly. Trying to overly correct mistakes leads to whispering and misgivings which is a state a Muslim doesn’t want to find himself in. Don’t worry about this too much inside your prayer while at the same time trying to correct pronunciation outside the prayer May Allah make it easy for you
Thank you Sheikh for this. Just for my benefit, can you please give me some references or which scholars have said this. I am very paranoid so would much appreciate your help.
Salaam, I used to share the slides but now I sell them for 10 English pounds as that would cover the huge amount of time it took to make them. If you are interested let know

@@hamzaabbasi9241 Just watch this please: ua-cam.com/video/VnJp6hVAl9A/v-deo.html (you may watch it on 1.25 or 1.5 speed, but please do watch). It doesn't matter what we've been initially taught. What is most important for us, you and me, is to find out what is Authentic. Many of the actions are not 'compulsory' and there are flexibility, but some are invalid and some are required. How do we know? Authentic hadith only. That's why, please watch the video.. because this video mentions no references. I can watch a kid explaining me how to pray it'd be the same thing.
@Aves Ahmed I agree. This is what I just watched: ua-cam.com/video/VnJp6hVAl9A/v-deo.html and I know for sure now what is authentic and what we've been doing wrong all along.
@@hamzaabbasi9241 and few more things, According to hanafi prayer, you can't recite durood shareef intentionally in first tashahhud, if you do then your prayer is invalid. But according to hadees, it's sunnah to recite durood shareef in each tashahhud!
Sir kindly tell why every fiqh has different prayer style....? In which one is obligatory in other that is biddet.....and reciprocal...... Plz tell....I am very confused
As-Salaam Alykum brother, I hope I find you well. Everything given to you from the four imams is correct. The slight differences you see are blessings from Allah as it allows flexibility withing the religion and ease. If there was one rigid way most people would invalidate thier prayers and cause undue hardship upon themselves. The religion is ease Alhamdullah.The same ahadith are used by all of the Imams and its their understanding of those hadith and implementation that have given us the slight differences we see. They had a better understanding of the religion than we did so when we see a hadith that seems to be contrary to what the madhab is teaching,then know for sure that you have only seen this one hadith out of its context and have not seen the huge academic effort exerted by the scholars to understand that hadith and many other hadith used with it to arrive at their conclusions. Islam is a step by step approach. we learn the basics before we step up to secondary and tertiary subjects such as hadith science etc. May Allah give us all success.
Salaam, no there is no problem as you have not broken an integral which are basically 5. However it is an Emphasised Sunna to say the tasbi three times
Sometimes if i have doubt or similar, I say it very often, I read a fatwa saying it doesn‘t matter if you even say it 10 times, just minimum once and sunnah thrice. Now I‘m so worried that I have to repeat those prayers. I didn‘t know
@@carlitog1506 Hello don't worry, you will not invalidate your prayer. If you say it more than three times, We learn from hadith that reading tashib thrice in ruku and sajdah is good, five times is better while reading seven times is the best. However, if one offers long nafl salah he may read 9, 11, 13 and 15 times. There is no limit, but it should be noted that reciting tasbih in odd numbers is better. Its not easy to break your prayers. Don't worry about paranoid thinking and whispering of the devil. Your prayers should always be considered sound as long as you have not left out an integral of prayer.
@@carlitog1506 You can only pray your obligatory prayer once. If you pray a dhuhr for example and then decide to pry another on top of it, then it is prohibitively disliked to do so. Only pray once and pray lots of sunnah and nawafila which will compensate for any shortcomings in your obligatory prayer
With respect, he's placing too many conditions on clothing that are not conducive to ease and Allah desires ease for us. Why should you have to dress as if you were in front of one of society's elite? Clothes should not be defiled and should cover the awra (for men this means just above the navel to just below knees) A clean tee shirt is fine, work clothes if clean are fine. Do you think the sahaba changed clothes every time they prayed? Also, they prayed while on a journey at times so not their finest clothing. Friday prayer of course is different. Also, it's not required to use a tooth stick each time one prays, rinsing the mouth and perhaps using the finger to dislodge any food (if necessary) is acceptable. Glad to see he's not wearing a ring on his left hand. So many muslims do, despite it being very unhygienic - tiny bits of fecal matter can get trapped in a ring.
Salaam Brother, While I appreciate what you said there are certain short sights in it all. Firstly, The Imams are party to additional information that we are not. This book is just a basic primer on the subject and if you study fiqh deeper you will see evidence furnished and the logic behind each statement here. A huge problem in the modern ere is a loss of "adab' which translates as something done in its optimal or correct way. Fiqh basically only teaches us what is right and what is wrong. It doesn't teach us how to infuse adab or ehsan (excellence) into our actions. Would you like to do everything half baked? or with excellence? I can wear a towel and pray but would that be the best way to face Allah. When we say Allah wants ease what do we really mean? It means that there is a golden mean and during times of hardship we can descend lower than that in order to complete our worship. For example, many people as a point of Adab always dress smart. Its not hardship for them In-fact for them to wear shorts and a t-shirt would be hard on them. The sahaba would wear the best version of whatever dress they had. The messenger of Allah peace be upon him would wear the best version of whatever allowances permitted. Today when Allah has blessed us with wealth why do we dress well for our bosses whom desire it and we don't dress well for the Lord of the worlds? In South East Asia many mosques have long coats that one wears as he enters just to make him look more presentable in front of his lord. This is because when one performs an act in as perfect a manner as possible, the act is more beloved to Allah the Exalted. Therefore, the more recommended measures a person performs when praying the more beloved the prayer is to Allah the Exalted. (al-Manar al-Munif) - It is recommended to use the toothstick for every prayer, obligatory or supererogatory, when reciting the Qur’an, reading Hadith, studying a Shari’ah science, when one’s breath changes, waking up from sleep, eating something that creates bad breath such as garlic and onions, upon entering the mosque and upon entering one’s residence. (I’anah al-Talibin) - It is recommended to moisten the toothstick before use. (I’anah al-Talibin) Imam Bukhari reported that ‘Aisha said, “The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) passed away when he was in my house during my round [for him to be with]. While he was leaning on my upper chest and throat, Allah made my saliva mix with his saliva.” ‘Aisha added, “Abd al-Rahman entered with a toothstick (siwak). The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) was too weak to take the tootstick [by himself], whereupon I took it from ‘Abd al-Rahman, chewed it and then cleaned the Prophet’s teeth with it.” Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (Allah have mercy on him) noted that the fact that this was during the last hours of the Prophet’s time on earth shows how keen the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) was to use the toothstick. Additionally, from this hadith, scholars have also concluded that one may use another person’s toothstick. (Tuhfa al-Nussak) So sum up. Could you pray i dusty overalls yes, could you pray salah with some filth on your clothing yes, but if we can help all this then Allah appreciates all of that from us.We have been created so that Allah can test which one of us is best in deeds and excellence. May Allah guide us all.
@@AhmirNawaz Dear brother Ahmir, thank you for your lengthy reply. I note that you now use "adab" and "recommendations" about matters which you previously referred to as "conditions" which if not met means the prayer is invalid. That was really the only matter I was taking issue with - the suggestion that if you don't meet the conditions stated in the video presentation the prayer is invalid. I am happier if you call some of these things you referred to as recommendations or good manners but not conditions. I follow the Hanafi madhab and I have prayed with other Hanafis in UK, in Thailand, in Turkey and my experience is when I was doing wudu with them very few indeed (certainly very few outside of Tabligh i Jamaat circles) used a miswak (tooth stick) so most certainly didn't see non use as invalidating the prayer. It also looked like most prayed in their usual clothes whether casual or work clothes rather than changed into clothes befitting a meeting with a judge or bank manager. Of course the awra (nakedness) was always covered and more than this. That appears to be accepted as sufficient to validate the prayer. Some wore perfume, some didn't. Friday prayer could be a bit different as people had more time to prepare themselves. For example for Friday prayer I always apply perfume and wear clean but casual clothes (no slogans, tears and not tight etc ), but not formal clothes I would wear if I had to attend a secular meeting when outward appearance is often used to judge people. But we know that Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and actions.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2564 At prayer time we concentrate on what is in our hearts and our actions and not on our outward appearance and we hope Allah swt accepts our prayers. If we place to many conditions we might drive some, perhaps especially young, people away. In the present state of the world praying five times a day is extremely challenging for many people. We should tend towards easing their burden. “Treat the people with ease and don’t be hard on them; give them glad tidings and don’t fill them with aversion.” This idea as you know can be found in a number of hadith and in Al Qur'an. wa'salaam
@@iljasbaker9655 Jazakallah for your insightful reply. Using the miswak is not a condition. A condition is something that occurs outside the prayer. The miswak is an emphasized sunnah which sadly most of the ummah has neglected. The shafi's take the miswak very seriously and will use it before prayer. At the very least we should wipe our teeth with our finger. The hadith regarding looking at our hearts and not our exterior is easy enough to understand. What we have on on our inside will manifest outwardly. For example, if I love Allah so much and have a sound heart full of faith but without actions is that enough? Our sound hearts will move us to excellence in conduct and actions which are observable outward states. A man lies under his tongue is a famous saying as well as, The decisions you make and the actions that follow are a reflection of who you really are. I can pray in a t-shirt but would I personally do it? Not if I can help it as a point of adab. In polite society a t-shirt is very informal and until a hundred years ago a t shirt was considered an undergarment. I remember one of my teachers who came out of his room in a undershirt and saw his brother so he quickly went and put on a thobe. Part of manners is to not let someone see you outside the house in your relaxed house attire. These things are all part of the ease and beauty of Islam that are easily doable. The thing is that we have set our standards to the lowest of the low and we expect Islam to conform to what we desire. The truth is Islam doesn't need us but we need Islam. For those who want to pray in a t shirt, towel, etc, can pray yet it can be considered blameworthy to pray in a towel just because you are laying around the house in easy clothing when other clothing is available. For those who want to aim higher then they can pray in better cloths. Allah will judge which of us was best in actions. this means most excellent in actions. Hamz Yusuf said if you come to the mosque in casual clothing because that is your opinion of Allah, then don'r expect Allah to have a high opinion of your also. We should always aim high and if we fall short we are still on safe ground. If we aim for the bare minimum then for sure we will fall far short of what is expected. May Allah give us wisdom wasalaam

Sahi hadith of bukari means, Moulana bukari had imposed some conditions on himself based on conditions he classified hadith as Sahi and zaeef
There are many hadith which are zaeef in bukari but are sahee in Muslim and other books depending on their approach.
In Islam Qur'an is only book at no.1.
There is no No.2,3 or4 book in Islam.
Bukari, Muslim and other books are just collection of hadith. (Data book)
Hanfism is based on haq hadith.
Hanfism is not the product of one person,
Abu hanifa had 40 to 50 members in his group, one of the member was Mohammed sirin who was student of 17 sahabas, similarly other members were students of sahaba and elite tabayees.
Each member was Hafiz of Qur'an and 2 to 3 lakhs of hadith, they were students of sahaba and tabayi of kufa(kufa was centre of intellectuals, students of sahabas like hazrath Omer,hazrath Ali).
Kufa was established as centre of intellectuals by hazrath Omer later was continued by hazrath Ali.
Just by reading few haddis you won't become expert, but sure you will become ahlae ade(.5) haddis.
Hanfism is the product of around 50 great scholars(student of sahaba,tabayeen+Hafiz of Qur'an+Hafiz of lakhs of haddis)
They greatest joke of ahlae adae(1/2) Haddis is they are around 5% but they have more than 50 jamaat among themselves.
Thier namaz,akhida, every thing is against Islam, they offer namaz like Jews.
They are step brothers of Shia, they do exactly opposite to shia
Shia hate Kulfa eh rasideen,
Wahabi have I'll feeling about ahlae bait,
Now a days they are showing fake love towards Ahlae bait, but if you read their old books it is full of venom against ahlae bait,
Even they won't spare hazarth Omer in their books.
They even change the books of real Muslim like abu hanifa (r.a), moulana asraf Ali thanvi and moulana Ahmed Raza,
Ahlae adae(1/2) haddis are very very cheap scoundrels.
Thier policy is blame other groups and make illiterate, illogical,poor, unscientific, innocent People fool and convert them from Islam to ahlae ade (1/2), Abdul wahabi, Saleebi.
Most of the hadis use by so called wahabis,ahlae haddis and salafi quote contains the sentence "I saw prophet Mohammad doing this" for example take the case of namaz prophet Mohammad use to pray (nafil namaz)for hours, due to strain he use to change the position of placement of hand, even he untied the hand in qayam, when it was hot and sweating he allowed air to enter his armpit all this positions were recorded in various hadith and as I said the words used by sahaba was " I saw" so it was nafil namaz.
Were as hanfis fallow hadith in which sahaba certifies as most preferable method.
for example regarding namaz.
Masood (r.z) gathers people and announces oh people I will teach you namaz the way prophet offered.
In hadis also you will find sahaba offering namaz with some deviation, it was the practice of sahaba to fallow prophet Muhammad in all terms atleast once. So sometime they use to offer namaz in which prophet deviated due to some excuse.
Quran guides, it is sign for Muslim and deviation for mentally sick people.
Each word of Qur'an has it's significance
And Allah knows the enemies of Islam within,each and every word Allah uses has purpose, There are many words better than word hanifa in Arabic but Allah uses it as sign
Surah nisa ayat 69 is sign for shia(rafzi),
And 3:67 is sign for ahlae haddis (dummy).
Quran is time independent.
Assalamualaikum, Jazakallah again for clearing my doubts a couple of weeks ago.
I have a doubt regarding joining the imam mid prayer.
so for example, Behind imam, I missed the first 2 cycles and then joined the prayer in the 3rd cycle, so after the 4th cycle, when i stand up again for the 2 cycles that i missed, should i pray those cycles as 1st and 2nd (the one i missed) or 3rd and 4th (continuing the salah).
Salaam. The cycles you missed were the 1st and 2nd. However when you stand to complete them, you will read then as your 3rd and 4th by yourself to complete the forth cycle prayer right?? But you will recite the fatiha and another surah in both as you missed the 1st and 2nd so you will reas what you missed. Does this make sense? if it doesn't as again and I will clarify.
@@AhmirNawaz Yes, I understand what you mean, i have to read the 3rd and 4th cycles as 1st and 2nd cycle (the ones i missed). shall i also recite Sana when i stand up to complete my salah?
@@ashfaqt1605 Salaam Correct. however I am not sure about reciting sana. I have never done.
If one loses track of prayer, can he say words such as subhan Allah, Allahu akbar or la ilaha illallah during prayer?
Salaam, yes you can but you have up to three SubhanAllah before you must make a decision. This is is you are left dumbfounded as to what the next action was. If you forget during an Ayah then you can carry on reciting without stopping so as to not impose a sajda sahwu over due to to lengthy silence
Assalaamulaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I have some questions:
For the non-confirmed sunna prayer, does one have to give salams before standing for the third rak'a?
I was taught somewhere els that there is a 6 rakat non-confirmed sunna prayer after Maghrib which has 3 sets of salams, and that performing 2 rakat sunna after Maghrib is one of these 3 sets - does that mean the salams are just unique for the case of the 6 rakat sunna prayer after Maghrib?
I watched your other video about the Sunna prayers and I think I understand now, jazakAllahu khairan
Welcome
Salam Alaikum Seikh
I am confused ...
1) aren't we supposed to put hands below the navel in Hanafi Madhab?
2) Can you explain why we should raise the index finger only "once" ?
because according hadiths and opinions of imams of ohter madhaib , the index finger is up throughout the entire Tashahhud or raised multiple times. (Not trying to debate, really want ot learn).
Salaam, hands go below belly button yes.
Index finger and the differences between the madhabs and how to understand hadith is really an academic field that requires deep study. It is not something I can answer in detail. Simply put, all the imams have their own criteria and each is backed up with strong evidence.
Subscribed bhai
Asalamu alaikum Seyyedi, just to confirm the non emphasised Sunnah, you add a surah in the 3rd and 4th cycles after fatiha and in the first sitting after tashahud you add in durood Ibrahimi and a Quranic dua aswell?
Salaam, Yes this is for the four sunnah before Dhuhr but for the Asr sunnah you can raise after tashhud. At least this is how I understand it
Voice is some what lower
Yes I think it is a little. But on computer it should be fine
thankyou so much sheikh, all doubts cleared perfectly.
May Allah reward your intentions and add barakat into your worship. Pray for me
JazakAllah ...
Thanks 🌹
Assalamu alaikum Shaykh,
Waslaaam
What about pointing the right index finger during Tashahhud, at what point to we point and what point do we lower it?
When one reaches the statement ‘Ashadu An La ilaha, one should clench the pinky, ring, and middle fingers, place the tip of the thumb on the middle knuckle of the middle finger and raise the pointer finger.
When saying ‘ill Allah’ one should lower the pointer finger and leave the hands in that position until the end of the sitting
As-salamu alaykum Sheikh, for my benefit what are the scholarly views on pronunciation in salah in general.If there are unintentional mistakes and potentially changes the meaning, does it render whole salah being void. I know many scholars have difference of views on this but what is the general consensus on this.
Wasalaam, thank you for asking the question. The hanafi opinion is straight forward. As long as you are not deliberately twisting words it doesn’t matter if you mispronounce words wether meaning is changed or not. Again, you don’t need to go back to try and correct every mistake you make if you are one that cannot pronounce words correctly. Trying to overly correct mistakes leads to whispering and misgivings which is a state a Muslim doesn’t want to find himself in. Don’t worry about this too much inside your prayer while at the same time trying to correct pronunciation outside the prayer
May Allah make it easy for you
Thank you Sheikh for this.
Just for my benefit, can you please give me some references or which scholars have said this. I am very paranoid so would much appreciate your help.

@@GoogleAccount-z7g Dear brother fiqh books are not to be studied alone. They are text books that need to be unpacked through teachers.

If this is the way, then why didn't you give the reference of authentic hadiths?
You can call me anytime i will explain how Hanafi prayer is superior and based on the raij sunnah of twatur of the ummah
@@hamzaabbasi9241 Just watch this please: ua-cam.com/video/VnJp6hVAl9A/v-deo.html (you may watch it on 1.25 or 1.5 speed, but please do watch). It doesn't matter what we've been initially taught. What is most important for us, you and me, is to find out what is Authentic. Many of the actions are not 'compulsory' and there are flexibility, but some are invalid and some are required. How do we know? Authentic hadith only. That's why, please watch the video.. because this video mentions no references. I can watch a kid explaining me how to pray it'd be the same thing.
@Aves Ahmed I agree. This is what I just watched: ua-cam.com/video/VnJp6hVAl9A/v-deo.html and I know for sure now what is authentic and what we've been doing wrong all along.

Sir kindly tell why every fiqh has different prayer style....?
In which one is obligatory in other that is biddet.....and reciprocal......
Plz tell....I am very confused
@repent toAllah Thank you so much sir ❣️
@repent toAllah right ....😊😊
That will be very helpful again thanks....
As-Salaam Alykum brother, I hope I find you well. Everything given to you from the four imams is correct. The slight differences you see are blessings from Allah as it allows flexibility withing the religion and ease. If there was one rigid way most people would invalidate thier prayers and cause undue hardship upon themselves. The religion is ease Alhamdullah.The same ahadith are used by all of the Imams and its their understanding of those hadith and implementation that have given us the slight differences we see. They had a better understanding of the religion than we did so when we see a hadith that seems to be contrary to what the madhab is teaching,then know for sure that you have only seen this one hadith out of its context and have not seen the huge academic effort exerted by the scholars to understand that hadith and many other hadith used with it to arrive at their conclusions. Islam is a step by step approach. we learn the basics before we step up to secondary and tertiary subjects such as hadith science etc. May Allah give us all success.
@@AhmirNawaz JazakAllah and Alhumdullilah for explanation...I got it....❣️
Salam, Is it invalid if you say the tasbih in sujood only 2 times rather than 3?
Salaam, no there is no problem as you have not broken an integral which are basically 5. However it is an Emphasised Sunna to say the tasbi three times
@@AhmirNawaz is my namaz invalid if i say it more than 5 times??
Sometimes if i have doubt or similar, I say it very often, I read a fatwa saying it doesn‘t matter if you even say it 10 times, just minimum once and sunnah thrice. Now I‘m so worried that I have to repeat those prayers. I didn‘t know
@@carlitog1506 Hello don't worry, you will not invalidate your prayer. If you say it more than three times, We learn from hadith that reading tashib thrice in ruku and sajdah is good, five times is better while reading seven times is the best. However, if one offers long nafl salah he may read 9, 11, 13 and 15 times. There is no limit, but it should be noted that reciting tasbih in odd numbers is better. Its not easy to break your prayers. Don't worry about paranoid thinking and whispering of the devil. Your prayers should always be considered sound as long as you have not left out an integral of prayer.
@@carlitog1506 You can only pray your obligatory prayer once. If you pray a dhuhr for example and then decide to pry another on top of it, then it is prohibitively disliked to do so. Only pray once and pray lots of sunnah and nawafila which will compensate for any shortcomings in your obligatory prayer
With respect, he's placing too many conditions on clothing that are not conducive to ease and Allah desires ease for us. Why should you have to dress as if you were in front of one of society's elite? Clothes should not be defiled and should cover the awra (for men this means just above the navel to just below knees) A clean tee shirt is fine, work clothes if clean are fine. Do you think the sahaba changed clothes every time they prayed? Also, they prayed while on a journey at times so not their finest clothing. Friday prayer of course is different. Also, it's not required to use a tooth stick each time one prays, rinsing the mouth and perhaps using the finger to dislodge any food (if necessary) is acceptable. Glad to see he's not wearing a ring on his left hand. So many muslims do, despite it being very unhygienic - tiny bits of fecal matter can get trapped in a ring.
Salaam Brother, While I appreciate what you said there are certain short sights in it all. Firstly, The Imams are party to additional information that we are not. This book is just a basic primer on the subject and if you study fiqh deeper you will see evidence furnished and the logic behind each statement here. A huge problem in the modern ere is a loss of "adab' which translates as something done in its optimal or correct way. Fiqh basically only teaches us what is right and what is wrong. It doesn't teach us how to infuse adab or ehsan (excellence) into our actions. Would you like to do everything half baked? or with excellence? I can wear a towel and pray but would that be the best way to face Allah. When we say Allah wants ease what do we really mean? It means that there is a golden mean and during times of hardship we can descend lower than that in order to complete our worship. For example, many people as a point of Adab always dress smart. Its not hardship for them In-fact for them to wear shorts and a t-shirt would be hard on them. The sahaba would wear the best version of whatever dress they had. The messenger of Allah peace be upon him would wear the best version of whatever allowances permitted. Today when Allah has blessed us with wealth why do we dress well for our bosses whom desire it and we don't dress well for the Lord of the worlds?
In South East Asia many mosques have long coats that one wears as he enters just to make him look more presentable in front of his lord. This is because when one performs an act in as perfect a manner as possible, the act is more beloved to Allah the Exalted. Therefore, the more recommended measures a person performs when praying the more beloved the prayer is to Allah the Exalted. (al-Manar al-Munif) - It is recommended to use the toothstick for every prayer, obligatory or supererogatory, when reciting the Qur’an, reading Hadith, studying a Shari’ah science, when one’s breath changes, waking up from sleep, eating something that creates bad breath such as garlic and onions, upon entering the mosque and upon entering one’s residence. (I’anah al-Talibin)
- It is recommended to moisten the toothstick before use. (I’anah al-Talibin)
Imam Bukhari reported that ‘Aisha said, “The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) passed away when he was in my house during my round [for him to be with]. While he was leaning on my upper chest and throat, Allah made my saliva mix with his saliva.” ‘Aisha added, “Abd al-Rahman entered with a toothstick (siwak). The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) was too weak to take the tootstick [by himself], whereupon I took it from ‘Abd al-Rahman, chewed it and then cleaned the Prophet’s teeth with it.”
Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (Allah have mercy on him) noted that the fact that this was during the last hours of the Prophet’s time on earth shows how keen the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) was to use the toothstick. Additionally, from this hadith, scholars have also concluded that one may use another person’s toothstick. (Tuhfa al-Nussak)
So sum up. Could you pray i dusty overalls yes, could you pray salah with some filth on your clothing yes, but if we can help all this then Allah appreciates all of that from us.We have been created so that Allah can test which one of us is best in deeds and excellence. May Allah guide us all.
@@AhmirNawaz Dear brother Ahmir, thank you for your lengthy reply. I note that you now use "adab" and "recommendations" about matters which you previously referred to as "conditions" which if not met means the prayer is invalid. That was really the only matter I was taking issue with - the suggestion that if you don't meet the conditions stated in the video presentation the prayer is invalid. I am happier if you call some of these things you referred to as recommendations or good manners but not conditions. I follow the Hanafi madhab and I have prayed with other Hanafis in UK, in Thailand, in Turkey and my experience is when I was doing wudu with them very few indeed (certainly very few outside of Tabligh i Jamaat circles) used a miswak (tooth stick) so most certainly didn't see non use as invalidating the prayer. It also looked like most prayed in their usual clothes whether casual or work clothes rather than changed into clothes befitting a meeting with a judge or bank manager. Of course the awra (nakedness) was always covered and more than this. That appears to be accepted as sufficient to validate the prayer. Some wore perfume, some didn't. Friday prayer could be a bit different as people had more time to prepare themselves. For example for Friday prayer I always apply perfume and wear clean but casual clothes (no slogans, tears and not tight etc ), but not formal clothes I would wear if I had to attend a secular meeting when outward appearance is often used to judge people. But we know that Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and actions.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2564
At prayer time we concentrate on what is in our hearts and our actions and not on our outward appearance and we hope Allah swt accepts our prayers.
If we place to many conditions we might drive some, perhaps especially young, people away. In the present state of the world praying five times a day is extremely challenging for many people. We should tend towards easing their burden. “Treat the people with ease and don’t be hard on them; give them glad tidings and don’t fill them with aversion.” This idea as you know can be found in a number of hadith and in Al Qur'an.
wa'salaam
@@iljasbaker9655 Jazakallah for your insightful reply. Using the miswak is not a condition. A condition is something that occurs outside the prayer. The miswak is an emphasized sunnah which sadly most of the ummah has neglected. The shafi's take the miswak very seriously and will use it before prayer. At the very least we should wipe our teeth with our finger. The hadith regarding looking at our hearts and not our exterior is easy enough to understand. What we have on on our inside will manifest outwardly. For example, if I love Allah so much and have a sound heart full of faith but without actions is that enough? Our sound hearts will move us to excellence in conduct and actions which are observable outward states. A man lies under his tongue is a famous saying as well as, The decisions you make and the actions that follow are a reflection of who you really are.
I can pray in a t-shirt but would I personally do it? Not if I can help it as a point of adab.
In polite society a t-shirt is very informal and until a hundred years ago a t shirt was considered an undergarment. I remember one of my teachers who came out of his room in a undershirt and saw his brother so he quickly went and put on a thobe. Part of manners is to not let someone see you outside the house in your relaxed house attire. These things are all part of the ease and beauty of Islam that are easily doable. The thing is that we have set our standards to the lowest of the low and we expect Islam to conform to what we desire. The truth is Islam doesn't need us but we need Islam. For those who want to pray in a t shirt, towel, etc, can pray yet it can be considered blameworthy to pray in a towel just because you are laying around the house in easy clothing when other clothing is available. For those who want to aim higher then they can pray in better cloths. Allah will judge which of us was best in actions. this means most excellent in actions. Hamz Yusuf said if you come to the mosque in casual clothing because that is your opinion of Allah, then don'r expect Allah to have a high opinion of your also. We should always aim high and if we fall short we are still on safe ground. If we aim for the bare minimum then for sure we will fall far short of what is expected. May Allah give us wisdom wasalaam

So do the elbows of the women touch the ground or only their arms?
Salaam, a women keeps her arms close to her side and her forearms touch the ground. Her elbows may end up touching or slightly raised due to her physiology and flexibility. Do not worry about this as your prayer is complete and sound in both ways. Keeping the arms close abs down for a women is closer to modesty
