Salat valid for females wearing long sleeves to cover wrists, but when in Sijdah a portion above the wrists show? Also, In our town there are many Azaans all at once.
Question
1)Females in salaat. Wearing long sleeves to cover wrists, but when in Sijdah a portion above the wrists show. Is salaah invalid? 2) In our town there are many Azaans all at once. Should we wait for all the azaans to be over before praying. Sometimes we cannot hear the azaan properly. 3) I have read that in every sijdah after Subhana Rabbi al Ala, one can read 3x Ya Rabbi Ighfirli. (ie fard sunnah or nafl salaah). Is this alright? 4) If after a shower (not ghusl) is one allowed to make wudhu for salaat at the same time (ie without one's clothing on)?
Answer
1. If a quarter of any limb that was to be covered when offering Salaat is exposed to the extent of being able to recite Subhaanallah 3 times, the Salaat will be invalidated.
2. A person should answer and comply with the Adhaan of his or her Musjid, i.e. the Musjid nearest to one's house. There is no need to wait for all the Adhaans to finish.
3. The Du'aa Allaahumma ighfir liy may be read in the Jalsa position, that is between the two Sajdahs.
4. The Wudhu performed in the shower will be valid.

Is salaah valid in tight clothes, shorts or with sleeves rolled up?
“1. Performing Salaah with one’s sleeves folded up (without a valid reason) is Makroohe-e-Tahreemi. However, if the sleeves were folded before Salaah for some work, and then one starts Salaah, there is a difference of opinion as…”
