18 Oct 2025MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth LatestHow does a Quranist pray salah? The guest's prayer has no unit count: after wudu he seeks refuge, reads al-Fatiha by his own choice and a full chapter, then prostrates once with supplication, filling the prayer time as the moment dictates; in congregation the imam leads a single long prostration and prayers last up to an hour, three times a day.

17 May 2017Ramadan Q&A Fast & Fiqhious LatestShould I pray 8 or 20 rak'ahs of tarawih? Tarawih has no fixed number: eight, the least the Prophet prayed, is the base and anything above it is valid. Twenty was the common practice and the schools' broad view, but neither eight nor twenty is wrong.
