SOME RULES/ETIQUETTES ABOUT PRAYER

 

1. Some people, while in journey offer combined prayer of noon, afternoon, evening and night. This is not allowed in Hanafi school of thought. Combined prayer, only as an exception, is allowed in Arafat and Muzdalfa and beyond these two occasions no where and at no time of year combined prayer is permitted. Even if one is traveling to Madina, two prayers can not be combined.
2. It has been observed that in Haram some people lie down and go into asleep. On wake up they immediately stand up to say the prayer. Such prayer is not valid, as the pilgrim is required to go through fresh ablution after wakeup from sleep.
3. One should not offer any prayer on the hillocks of As-Safa and Al-Marwa.
4. Hateem is also a part of house of God. If one can not get an opportunity to go inside the Ka`abah, he should offer the optional prayer in Hateem, preferably below the Meezab-e-Rahmat.

It has been observed that sometimes people line up ahead of prayer leader (Imam) outside the prophet mosque or Masjid-e-Khaif in Mina. This is incorrect. Prayer of those standing ahead of Imam is not valid.
