Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1106/836/L=1431)

Only Surah Fatiha shall be recited in the last two rakats of fardh salah. However it is wajib and necessary to add surah after surah fatiha in all the four rakats of nafl salah.

Q. I have just completed the Tarabih salat behind a Hafej Saheb. He did not demanded any money from us but we voluntarily collected some money within ourselves and handed over the same to him. He has accepted the money. I heard that taking money in any form is not allowed in Islam after reciting the Quran in tarabih. Kindly tell me what is the islamic guidance in details in this regards. 1.Should we avoid performing tarabih salat behind a hafij who ask for money or take money when given voluntarily. 2.Is it allowed to give money to a hafij who recite Quran on Tarabih on account of his recitation of Quran. 3.If we don't get a hafij who recite Quran in tarabih without taking or asking money what shouod we do then? 2067 views

Q. I am a 33 year old Indian male from Mumbai, staying in workig in Abu Dhabi. I have pproximately 20-22 years of Qada namaz. I came across a site called www.islamicacademy.com giving the following easy way of praying For the people who have many years of missed Salahs. There is a way to pray them quickly. Following instructions have four exeptions and has all Fards and Wajibs for a complete Salat. Please pray your Qaza as soon as possible. Even of you could pray one days Qaza Salahs every day which are only 20 rakahs (3 wajib witr), please do it. It only takes few mins to perform 20 rakahs according to the following instructions. 1) In Ruku and Sajdah instead of reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" and "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" three times, say it only once. But make sure do not leave Ruku poster untill the Meem (M) of Azeem has been said properly. Similarly do not leave the posture of Sajdah until Ala has been said completely. Just make sure to say these Tasbeehaat properly and do not rush. 2) In third and four Rakah of Fard Salah instead of reciting the whole Soorah Fatiha say, "Subhan Allah" three times and go to Ruku, . Make sure "Subhan Allah" has been recited three times properly, do not rush. This exeption is only for Fard. In third rakah of Witr it's a must to recite full Soorah Fatiha followed by at least three ayahs of Quran or a soorah (as we usually do in first and second rakah). 3) In last Qaidah (when we sit for Attahyyat) before Salam, after Attahyyat instead of full Durood and Dua just say, "Allah Humma Salle Ala Sayedena Mohammad Wa Aalihi", then finish the Salat with Salam. Dua is not a must here. 4) In Witr, instead of full Dua-e-Qunoot just say "Rabbigh Fir Lee" one or three times. (Fatawa Rizvia, Part 3, Page 622) Can you please advise if the above method can be followed sagely 2151 views
