Question

I, Abdur Rahim and my friend Abul Kashem were offering Asr prayers one day under his leadership. After returning the salutation, he became suspicious of the rak'ah. So he gestured to me and asked me if the prayer was three rak'ats or four rak'ats. I gestured with my hands and head to show that there were three rak'ahs. He stood up, recited another rak'ah and finished the prayer with Sahu Sijdah. But I doubt whether this prayer has become valid after pointing in this way. So I read the prayer again. The question is, did our prayer become valid or not? Is it okay for me to pray again? Will be obliged to inform. 9259725865

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

In the case in question, if he had only gestured without saying anything, that prayer would not have been broken. On the contrary, after reciting one rak'ah and performing sahu in prostration, it has been performed correctly. This is because the number of rak'ahs is not wasted by pointing the head or the hand in this way. After Suratang Salam, if he did not do anything contrary to the prayer, there was no need to repeat the prayer. In this case, the prayer performed later has become nafl. However, it should be noted that even if the prayer is not broken due to the gesture of the head or hand, it is the opposite of khushu-khuzu. So it is obligatory to refrain from this. 1133871643
