Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

Would appreciate some help from the venerable Shafi'i members on this forum.
I enquired about your doubts to a Shafi'i scholar. He was about to go for a journey, so I couldn't ask in detail, but got answers

1) The Imam is praying Dhuhr/Asr - You join the jamaa'ah in the second rak'ah, having missed the first rak'ah.
- When the Imam rises from his first sitting/tasahhud, do you need to do raf'ul yadain and say takbeer? Yes we should do as the imam does and its sunnah to do raf'ul yadain.

- The Imam is in his third rak'ah. Do you add a surah after the recitation of your own fatihah? (Remember: It's dhuhr/asr) Yes one can recite surah if one gets time.

- When the Imam rises from the last sajdah in his third rak'ah, do you need to do raf'ul yadain and say an extra takbeer? (It's the end of your second rak'ah) I couldn't ask this.


- When do you stand up to make up the missed rak'ah? Is it after the first salaam or the second salaam is completed? One can get up after the first salaam, but will miss the reward of the second salaam of the Imaam, so its better to get up after the second salaam.

2) You have a scalp disease (seborrheic dermatitis) and are going to hajj. Is there anything in the madhab to say that you can forgo the halq and pay a penalty to make up? What will be the penalty?

Jazakumullah Khair

Wassalam The Imam said, just taking two hairs will fulfill the wajib.


Allahu Alam.

Do make dua for the scholar, he is suffering from a chronic disease.


Edit: i got this from Umdat as salik:

Then men have their entire head shaved,
which is optimal, though one may confine oneself
to (0: removing (A: by any means) three hairs
thereof (0: i.e. from the head, not something else
such as the beard or mustache), or may merely
shorten it, for which the optimal is to dip a little
less than two centimeters from all the hair. .
As for women, it is optimal for them
