:salam2:
Hope you are all in the best of health and imaan. I have a question about Salat in Jamaat. When I pray in Jamaat e.g. on Fridays, the only thing I recite behind the Imam is Fatiha. I keep silent in everything else. The basis of this is the following hadith:
Ubadah bin Samit (RA) said: We were behind the Prophet (SAW) in the Fajr prayer and he recited a passage from the Quran but the recitation became difficult for him. Then when he finished he said, 'Did you recite behind your Imam?' We replied, 'Yes, Allahs Messenger (SAW)'. Then Allahs Messenger (SAW) said: 'Do not recite anything (behind the Imam) except Fatihah-tul-Kitab (Surah Fatihah) because he who does not include it in his recitation in his prayer, his Salat is not valid'. (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)
I just wanted to confirm that I am on the right track.
Also a closely connected question is about praying in the Mosque. Now as far as I know that if you can hear the call to prayer i.e. Adhan then it is compulsory for you to answer. Ofcourse living in the UK I never hear the call to prayer. My local Mosque is quite far away from me anyway. The only Mosques at walking distance are Barelvi and Sufi Mosques who are likely to do bidah. So I was wondering if its ok for me to be praying at home. Ofcourse on Fridays I pray in Congregation. Thankyou.
