- I know in hanafi school you cannot recite anything in congregational prayer be it tarabih or fard or witr prayer.So can I recite the translation of fatiha and any other sura in my native language in my mind along with the imam( I dont know arabic by the way) ? And can we recite thana( subbahanaka alla huma ….) in congrehational prayers?what if we are joining late or the imam had started reciting?
- My mother was in the last siiting of prayer and she called me if I had found so and so,she then finished her prayer,I asked her to repeat the prayer since she had spoken during prayer,but she told me that shaitan had made her do it and she did it unintentionally,what should she do?
I am confused as to how many questions we can ask in one 20 minute session?Because some ask multiple questions in one session and you guys wrote we can ask two questions?So two questions in one session or two questions in two sessions?
Please please do not turn down my questions,if I am breaking any rules then please tell me and I will not repeat the mistakes in sha Allah.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

- When performing Salah in congregation behind the Imam, the follower should remain silent and not recite anything in the standing posture. He should pay attention to the recitation of the Imam even though he does not understand Arabic. He knows the Quran is the words of Allah being recited. He should listen with great amount of respect.
When going in ruku, sajda and tashahhud he should learn the duas and recite them even though it is in congregation.
One may read the translation of surah fateha and a surah in his mind in inaudible Salats i.e. in those Salah when the Imam does not read loudly.
2. If the Imam had already commenced with the Qirat the muqtadi should not be reciting Thana (1)
3. You did the right thing by telling your mother to repeat the Salah. Speaking in Salah nullifies ones Salah. (2)
