Issue No.915- If a person believes that a dhikr or a certain word is pronounced correctly and performed his prayers in that way for a period of time, but comes to know later that he was [pronouncing it] wrong, it is not necessary for him to offer the previous prayers again, although the recommended precaution is to offer them again at their time or perform their qaḍā if the time has passed.
Issue No.920- If a person recites tasbīḥāt arbaʿah in the first two rak‘ats, thinking that they are the last two rak‘ats, and if he realises this mistake before rukū‘, he should recite al-fātiḥa and sūrah. But if he realises this during or after the rukū‘, his prayer is valid, though as a recommended precaution, he should offer sajdah al-sahw (sajdah for oversight).
Issue No.924- If a person doubts whether he has pronounced a verse or a word correctly or not, he should repeat it and pronounce it correctly. However, if it becomes an obsession, he should ignore it, and if he does not do so, he should, as an obligatory precaution, offer the prayer again.
Issue No.987- If a person forgets to perform tashahhud, and rises and remembers before rukū‘, he should sit down and recite it, and then stand up again and recite the tasbīḥāt arbaʿah again. But if he remembers this in rukū‘ or thereafter, the prayer is correct and it is not necessary for him to return. However, as a recommended precaution, after prayer he should perform the qaḍā of tashahhud and perform sajdah al-sahw for the forgotten tashahhud.
Issue No.988- If a person doubts whether he has recited tashahhud or not, and he has not yet stood up, he should recite it, but if he has entered the next rak‘at, he should not pay attention to his doubt.
Issue No.994- If one forgetfully allows a gap between the letters or words of qarā’ah , or the words of dhikr or tashahhud, such that the form of qarā’ah and the words are disrupted, but the form of the prayer is not disrupted, he should go back and recite it correctly. However, if he has engaged himself in the next foundational element his prayer is in order.
Issue No.997- There are five qunūts in the āyāt prayer and in Eid [al-Adha and al-Fitr] prayers, five qunūts should be performed in the first rak‘at and four qunūts in the second rak‘at.
Issue No.1004- It is recommended that after writing the sacred name of the holy Prophet, Ṣalawāt also be written after it. It is better that whenever his name is recalled, even though it is not uttered, [that] Ṣalawāt is bestowed upon him, because Ṣalawāt is one of the Dhikrs that entail graceful and the utmost rewards.
Issue No.1007- He who falls asleep unwillingly (e.g., falls asleep while performing sajdah) then wakes up during sajdah and doubts whether he is in the sajdah of the prayer or the prostration of thankfulness after the prayer, should repeat the prayer.
Issue No.1013- Talking by mistake or forgetfully does not invalidate the prayer.
Issue No.1014- If one utters a meaningful word consisting of one single letter, (like 'Qi' in Arabic which means 'secure') while intending its meaning the prayer would be void. If one does not intend its meaning though and is aware of the meaning, he should, as an obligatory precaution, perform prayer again.
Issue No.1019- It is obligatory to answer another’s Salām even though one is offering prayer. Saying Salām is recommended and one should reply to it in a way that it may be counted as the reply to Salām. That is to say, if he delays the reply so much that it may not regarded the reply to that Salām, then he has committed a haram act; it would no longer be obligatory to reply to it though.
