Reciting behind Imām in Ṣalāh

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Assalamu Alaikum what should i do in this situation: I was praying behind the Imam and while he was reciting i was trying to recite behind him as well i accidently went ahead and said wa eed(with a daud) when the proper pronounciation was wa eed(with a dal) Jazak ALLAH

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Actually, the Muqtadi (follower) should not recite behind the Imām in Ṣalāh, whether it is a Ṣalāh in which the Qirāt is recited loudly or softly. To recite behind the Imām in Ṣalāh is prohibited (Makrūh Taḥrīmī). Nevertheless, your Ṣalāh was valid.[1]

Random Q&A

Question: How can I concentrate in my Salaah with my eyes open? Clarification of having pants below ankles DETAILS: Assalamualaikum Dear Mufti Sahib,   1)I know that you have to read Salaah with the eyes open, but it’s very distracting, therefore can I leave my eyes open just a little bit and try to make this blurry and blink them a lot to concentrate more? What is the consequence of leaving the eyes closed in Salaah, I heard that if one does this, his Hoor in Jannah will be blind?2) Is peelu Miswaak the best Miswaak or the olive Miswaak? 3) What is the best place to position the hands During Du’aa’; like at face level or shoulder level or hands high up? Should our palms be facing upwards? 4)I heard that it is HARAAM to keep the pants or shalwar below the ankles and that Muhammad (S) said whatever is below the ankles will be in Jahannum. My brother is saying that this Hadith only applies to people at that time or even now who used to keep their pants below the ankle for the sake of PRIDE. Does this mean that regular Muslims who don’t keep their pants above the ankles (not for pride) will not get punished for this sin? Pleas e clarify.5)Are all synthetic alcohols in products useable no matter where the source of the synthetic alcohol is derived? 6) Should we Only act on Sahih Hadith or act on even the weak Hadith too? 7.Can you please give me a detailed description of how the Angels Jibreel, Mikaeel, Israfeel, and Israel look like if there are any Ahaadith that speak of their appearance and characteristics. Jazakallah May Allah (S.W.T) reward u infinitely. Assalamualaikum.
