How to make up the Rak'ahs he missed with Imam
1) If I joined a prayer in the third Rakah of Isha prayer, I will finish my two Rakah with the imam. Then I have to stand up and recite opening supplication, Surah Fatihah and Ayah, or only Surah Fatihah. That means I will recite Surah Fatihah in all four Rakah. Please inform me about this.

As per fatwa written by a very prominent Muslim scholar Ashtray Ali Thanvi in his book "Beheshti Jeor" staying of imam inside the Mihrab completely.. More

Praying in his own home rather than in the home of a single woman
The main reason I am writing to you is below:
I am a married Muslim with two daughters and an adolescent sister. I live in a fenced community where there are two other neighbors who are Muslims and one non-Muslim.

I live near a mosque withina five-minute walk, but I cannot hear the Azan because it is not announced over a loudspeaker.

Some questions about prayer and divine decree

2. If one starts to recite the Qur’an from a middle of Surah and not from it's beginning is it necessary to say ‘Bismillah’.. More

Should the female be with one male in the same line or should the female pray behind the men alone?
