- Ta’deel al-Arkaan in Salah:
- Refers to performing each rukun (pillar of Salah) with calmness and justice.
- Minimum requirement: Stay in each position long enough to say “SubhanAllah” once.
- Proper Conduct in Salah:
- Avoid rushing through prayers; this compromises the obligatory acts.
- Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ does not need prayers; they are for our benefit and spiritual growth.
- Avoiding Distractions:
- It is recommended to eat or address needs before Salah if they might distract.
- Distractions are natural; even Sayyidina Ali رضي الله عنه stated that undisturbed Salah might indicate hypocrisy.
- Wajib of Continuity:
- Immediate movement between postures like ruku’ and sajdah without unnecessary delays.
- Breaking continuity (e.g., lingering or unrelated acts) compromises the prayer.
- Importance of Knowledge:
- Islamic rulings are nuanced, not black and white.
- Scholars emphasize actions pleasing to Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ and following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

- Islam prohibits revealing oneself, not working. There are permissible ways for women to earn income without compromising Islamic values.

- Q: What happens if I delay ruku’?
A: Delaying ruku’ unnecessarily can result in missing a wajib of Salah. - Q: Is it permissible to recite between sajdahs?
A: No additional acts or rukuns should occur between two sajdahs. Recitation, if permissible, does not affect the Salah negatively. - Q: Can a quick, incomplete Salah be valid?
