Muhammad Rizvi
Q1) Can i hold the sajdagah
in my hand during salat?
ANSWER: There is no
problem in holding the
turbat in your hand during
salat.
Q2) If, during salat,i loose
the sajdagah, is it wajib
for me to walk a few steps
to get another one(when
anything else is not present
closeby)?
ANSWER: If anything
else is not reachable, then
you should try to move/walk
to the place which has the
item on which sajdah is
permissible PROVIDED you
don't deviate from the
direction of qibla and it is
not so much away (i.e., it
should not be such that an
onlooker would say that this
is person is not doing namaz).
Q3) If, during salat, i
loose the sajdagah; how many
steps can i walk to get
another one, without my
salat becoming batil?
ANSWER: As answered
above, one should only walk
not so much away. There is
no specific measurement for
that.
Q4) Is it allowed to do
sajda on a currency note, eg
a $1 bill?
ANSWER: Most
currency notes have pictures
and drawing on it;
therefore, that would not be
right.

on a colored paper when a)
the paper is made from a
material on which sajda is
allowed? b) the color is not
making a coating on the
paper but has been
added during the paper
making process, thus the
final product is colored?
ANSWER: Doing sajdah
on a coloured paper is not a
problem.

There are 4 Ayat of the
Quran that if one hears
intentionally /recites any
one of them, sajda becomes
wajib. Sura Sajda
32:15, Sura Ha Mim Sajda
41:37, Sura Najm 53:62, &
Sura Alaq 96:19.
·
Sajda must be done
immediately. Purposely
delaying the sajda is a sin
& must be made up.
·
Method: keep the forehead
on a proper place of sajda
with the niyah of sajda for
the sake of Allah. Not wajib
to recite anything. Lift
your head. There is no
takbeer at the beginning, no
tashahud, no Salam.
·
It is mustahab to recite any
dhikr in sajda & Allahu
Akbar on raising head from
sajda.
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ حَقّاً حَقّاً
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
إِيمَاناً وَ تَصْدِيقاً لَا
إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
عُبُودِيَّةً وَ رِقّاً
سَجَدْتُ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ
تَعَبُّداًوَ رِقّاً لَا
مُسْتَنْكِفاً وَ لَا
مُسْتَكْبِراً بَلْ أَنَا
عَبْدٌ ذَلِيلٌ خَائِفٌ
مُسْتَجِير
La ilaha illal lahu haqqan haqqa; La ilaha illal lahu
imanan wa tasdiqa; la ilaha illal lahu 'ubudiyyatan wa riqqa;
Sajadtu laka ya Rabbi ta'abbudan wa riqqa la mustankifan wa
la mustak biran bal ana 'abdun zalilun za'ifun kha'ifun
mustajir.
·
Only the forehead needs to
be kept on a proper place of
sajda. It is not wajib to
keep the other 6 parts on
the ground too.
·
The sajda must be done on a
thing on which sajda is
valid eg clay tablet etc.
·
For the sajda: Taharat (Wudhu/gusl)
is not required, so a haez
and mujnib also have to do
the sajda as soon as they
hear the ayah.
·
Facing the Qiblah is not
required.
·
It is not wajib for a woman
to cover herself as she does
in salat.
·
Sajda is wajib only if one
recites or hears
intentionally.
·
If one just happens to hear
the ayahs : sajda is not
wajib.
·
Sajda is wajib if one can
hear the words. So if you
can hear some voice and know
that one of these ayahs is
being recited, but can’t
hear the words: sajda is not
wajib.
·
Sajda is wajib only if the
entire ayah is
recited /heard. Sajda is not
wajib if only a part of the
ayat has been recited
although the word denoting
sajda may have been recited.
·
Sajda is not wajib if one
imagines the ayah in his
mind or writes it or reads
it without reciting, or goes
over it with his eyes.
·
Sajda becomes wajib even if
you have heard a nabaligh
child reciting one of the
ayat of wajib sajda if
Quran.
·
Sajdah is wajib even if the
reciter is not present
before you eg one hears it
intentionally over the
internet, television, radio
etc in a live presentation.
If you have heard a
recording: sajda is not
wajib.
·
If you have recited it
yourself and heard it too:
do 2 sajda
·
If a group of people are
reciting it together eg 15
people recite it together:
Everyone does one sajda.
