Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Sunnah Actions in Prayer
Reciting Bismillah Loudly in Prayer
Saying Bismillah out loud in Al-Fatihah in the prayer is permissible; it is not a Bid`ah or prohibited. But most of the time in his prayer, the Prophet did not pronounce it out loud; rather he recited it quietly.73,690Why Do We Say Salam at the End of Prayer?
When praying alone, a Muslim intends the following by saying the Salam at the end of the prayer: 1- To exit the prayer. 2- To send Salam upon the recording angels. If one is praying in congregation, then he adds: 3- To send Salam upon his fellow-worshippers.145,941Where to Place Your Hands in Prayer
Placing the hands on the chest is what is established in the Sunnah. Hands are placed on the chest in two ways: 1- Placing the right hand on top of the left hand, wrist and forearm. 2- Clasping the right hand over the left.166,933Which Prayers Are Prayed Loudly?
Prophet Muhammad used to recite out loud in Fajr prayer, the first two Rak`ahs of Maghrib and `Isha’, and Jumu`ah prayer. He would recite quietly in Dhurh and `Asr prayers, the third Rak`ah of Maghrib prayer, the third and fourth Rak`ahs of `Isha’ prayer.154,761How High Should the Sutrah Be?
It is recommended for the Imam and the one who is praying alone to pray facing a Sutrah. The best Sutrah that a person puts when praying is the height of the back of a saddle, approximately two-thirds of a cubit, but if it is less than that, it does not matter; even if it is an arrow or a stick, it is acceptable.69,122The opening supplication (du‘a’ al-istiftah) and the versions narrated in hadiths
35,079Did any of the scholars say that it is permissible to recite two of the opening supplications in prayer?
5,365What is the ruling on leaving to the right or the left for one who is sitting in front of someone who is praying?
3,372It is prescribed to seek refuge with Allah when reciting a verse that speaks of punishment?
9,706How Many Verses Should Be Recited after Al-Fatihah?
The minimum that may be recited after Al-Fatihah is one verse. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) recommended that it should be a lengthy verse, such as the verse on debt (Al-Baqarah 2:282) or Ayat Al-Kursi (Al-Baqarah 2:255).41,473
