Prayer and Time Going Out

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

If one is praying their fardh last-minute and they hear the adhan for the next prayer come in during the middle of their prayer, does it invalidate their prayer and turn it into a qadaa? The niyyah for the prayer was made before the iqamah for the next prayer. Does it make a difference if one finishes the prayer before the end of the adhan?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam,

The exiting of the time only invalidates Fajr prayer. The other prayers are valid, and considered current performances, though one has sinned for not finishing the prayer within its proper time. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]

What if they have a sunnah muakkadah they need to pray after their fardh, can they still pray it even though they heard the adhan come in during the middle of their fardh?

Once the time has exited, one cannot perform the previous time’s confirmed sunna. [ibid.]

However, there is nothing wrong with praying a voluntary sunna (nafl) to ‘compensate’ for one’s remissness. Rather, this is a good thing to do, along with the resolve of sticking fast to one’s confirmed sunnas, because they were the inveterate practice of the Beloved of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace), of whom Allah Most High said,

“Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have a finest example for him who longs for Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much.”[33.21]

And Allah alone gives success.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani

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.
