We see some people when they need to break [away from] their prayer [short] for some emergency, or to join [the congregation when] the imaam [is about to start the prayer], or if they have invalidated their prayer – they do the tasleem. So is this act [of theirs] correct, or will the intention [to terminate the prayer] suffice?
[At the moment] I am travelling, so if I joined a congregation of local residents for the ‘ishaa prayer, [as a traveller] should I finish my prayer after two rak’ahs, or should I pray all four rak’ahs along with them?
I prayed the Fajr prayer behind al-Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyaadh, and he recited…
I prayed [the] Maghrib [prayer] behind Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyaadh, with his son ‘Alee at my side.
Whilst the iqaamah is being called, when is it legislated to stand for the prayer? Is it when a specific word is uttered?
If we are outdoors, such as a farm or a recreational villa, and we hear the sounds of the various callers to prayer from afar, are we required to respond to their call to prayer [by going to the masjid for prayer]?
A man entered the masjid, and the imaam had just arisen from the rukoo’ [position], and [as such] he does not know whether it is the final rak’ah or not. The question is, should he join the imaam [in congregation], or should he wait so he can confirm for sure?
I prayed the morning [prayer in congregation] behind al-Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyaadh, and he recited [soorah] al-Haaqqah…
Whoever prays alongside to the right of the imaam, while there is space [in the row] behind him – is there any problem with that?
If you see a man who is careless in [catching] the first takbeer [at the start of the congregational prayer], then wash your hands of him!
