Friday Fajr prayer during Ramadan different?
The mosque today the imam did 3 rakahs and for the first rakah there was no rukoo, we just went straight to prostration as well as only one prostration.

The mosque today the imam did 3 rakahs and for the first rakah there was no rukoo, we just went straight to prostration as well as only one prostration. Then the second rakah was normal except didn’t sit for tashahhud after 2nd prostration they all went up. For the 3rd rakah, we did all the normal steps and said tashahhud and salam. I'm very confused.

Salam Alikum brothers,
I live in a small city with no mosques in it, it is 1.30 hours drive from Chicago, IL . I know there are 5 methods to calculate prayer times
- Muslim World League
- Egyptian General Organization
- Umm al-Qura
- University of Islamic Sciences
- Islamic society of North America
What are the differences between them, as each one gives me different prayer times. Which one should I follow? I have no mosque in here to follow its Azan thou. Does it have something to do with the Madhabs?
Please advice

Does my father need to clean the alleged place where he was licked by a dog a few decades ago from najis in order to begin doing prayers?
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog.

My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that the water will be cloudy. The question is, does my father need first of all to clean the alleged place where the dog licked him from najis (my father does not remember exactly where the dog licked him), since he wants to start doing prayers?

Recently I have been wondering regarding something that I've been hearing since childhood.
when we stand in the congregation for the obligatory prayer making the lines, the imam says in arabic a few phrases. i can make out that what he says is to make the lines in accordance with the sunnah (*our mother tongue is not arabic*)
my question is that is it a must to say that in arabic everytime before we start the prayer?, or is it sunnah?, or are they doing it just to remind us to make the lines straight as its kind of like the responsibility of the imam.

Rules for receiting a surah during salat
If I look at youtube, an imam may recite a surah X from ayah a to b, or surah Y from ayah c to d during a salat. For example Al Baqarah from ayah 153 - 158, Humazah from ayah 1 - 9, or Ash Shu'ara from ayah 86 - 104, etc. Where do we learn this ? How do we know that we can recite Al Baqarah 153 - 15...

How do we know that we can recite Al Baqarah 153 - 158, and not 157 - 159, or 151 - 155 ? If I look at either the quran.com or quranwbw.com, there is no symbol whatsoever that indicate it.

Making dua during Quran ayat of sajdah or sujūd
Is it permissible to make dua during a sunnah sajdah (i.e. one of the 15) in the Qu'ran? I remember reading somewhere that it is not permissible to do so - rather we should say subhana rabbi al A'la (x3) and raise after that. What is the most authentic opinion on this?

Improper performance of prayers (namaz) and ghusl in the past
I've been praying since I was 13 years old, but now I'm learning about all the new nuances that, as it turned out, made all my prayers invalid.

I've been praying since I was 13 years old, but now I'm learning about all the new nuances that, as it turned out, made all my prayers invalid. First, I learned that during ghusl, you need to wash the skin under your nails, straighten your hair with your fingers so that the water reaches your scalp, and rinse your navel, but I didn't do that because I didn't know that I need to do it. I performed a new, correct, ghusl. It's been 1 month, and now I've learned that during prostration (sudjud) you need to touch the floor/carpet with your nose, but I didn't know, and I didn't touch the floor with my nose. Question: Do I need to make up for all the previous prayers now? Now I am afraid that I will do prayers, and after a long time I will find out about some minor nuance again, and again all my prayers will be invalid.

Sometimes after using toilet to unrinate and doing istinjaa I can feel drop along my leg or fall below my kness to the calf area. This make me very much confused if it is urine or water from drop after istinjaa. I have tried to sit down for a while after istanja but it happens. This causes a confusion if I am clean or not and that leads me to delaying of prayer.
What should I do?

I have a question regarding wuduu and purity. I made wuduu and I was packing my clothes as we were heading back home from travelling, as I was packing I touched my dirty clothes my accident that I put on the side for laundry to wash when I head back home (such as dirty undergarments/pajamas). I then just used some sanitiser and prayed as it was prayer time maybe after it by a couple of minutes. It’s all dry however there were all in a laundry bag all together before I transferred it to the bag. Should I redo my prayer?

Asslam o alaikum to all of my brothers and sisters.. Well my question is that i have searched in google that when a person swallow his saliva while fasting is this breaks persons fast..? Everywhere it shows that swallowing saliva will not breaks persons fast but whenever i do sehri after sehri my mouth suddenly filled with water till iftari so is this ok to swallow that much saliva?.. Most people do not fell that much saliva in their mouth as i do..Mostly i spit out but after 2 or 3 mint again my mouth fill with water.. Iam not good in english but i hope you get whatever i said. My question is only that is this ok to swallow that much saliva? But it's very hard for me to not to swallow saliva while praying salah in the month of ramadan.. We don't use tissues while praying salah so i swallow my saliva because there is no any other way of spitting out while praying salah specially in the month of ramdhan

Does vaginal flatulence break wudu?
Otherwise known as queefn This can occur when air is trapped in the you know what and then is released producing a farting sound. This often occurs when I rukuu or Sujud and I was wondering if it falls under the category of passing gas and if so do I need to retake wudhu?

-Muhammad al-Baqir
-Ja’far as-Sadiq
-Musa al-Khadhim
-Hasan al-Basri [Student of Imam ‘Ali]
-an-Nakha’i [tabi’i and student of ‘Abdullah ibn Abbas]
-Layth ibn Sa’ad [teacher of Imam as-Sahfi’i who said about him – ‘kana afqah min Malik – ‘He was more learned than Malik’]
-Imam al-Awzai [Mujtahid Imam of ahlus-Shaam whose madhab died out]
-ibn al-Qasim
-ibn Abu’l HakamIs
He Provided evidence for one and it follows :
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Volume 1, Page 391, Hadith 3946): It is narrated that some of the companions, including Abdullah ibn Zubayr and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, prayed with their hands at their sides. The report goes:
"عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِذَا صَلَّى تَرَكَ يَدَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَضَعْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى."
Translation: Ibn Jurayj said: "When Ibn Zubayr prayed, he would leave his hands (by his sides) and not place one of them over the other."
Please tell me if any of those companions including Abdullah ibn zubayr praying with hands on side is authentic or not. jazakAllahu khayrann

Made a mistake in Salat with a mispronunciation accident
During sujood in the second rakat, I said Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaa, Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaa, and then in the third time of saying it I said Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaam by accident. Does that invalidate my prayer? I also did sujood sahw for that mistake.

I have done my research on the topic of Isbal (where the lower garments cover the ankles), and I would like to prevent this from happening by folding my trousers up to not cover my ankles. But here's the issue, I have read that folding your garments during Salah is totally prohibited, meanwhile if I do not fold them they will cover the ankles. What do I do in this situation? I do not have alternative garments that are not too short or too long.
