As salam aleikum, After finding out there is a sunni masjid right behind my house, I have decided that I would go there now and then to offer salah. I want to go so that I don't pray all the time on my own and to benefit from a place dedicated to Allah ÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì. Anyway I want to go but of course I will not pray the sunni way so my aim is to be as discreet as possible with my "shia" salah. Unfortunately, most of the time sunni brothers focus on a few points that they notice, even though they might be busy in prayer : - Hands unfolded (of course) - Turbah (of course) - Pointing the finger in tashahud (some of them consider it vital and even argue on how to raise the finger...) - Doing qunut (even if optional) So I have a couple of questions/remarks, can you please bring some science about them : 1/ I will keep my hands unfolded, of course. I can argue I am an Algerian maliki. That's no problem. 2/ I have this tasbih with a small turbah at its end about the size of my thumbnail or a small coin). Is that big enough for a valid sajadah ? I have read somewhere that the place of prostration should be as large as your thumb, but if we speak about the whole finger, it's weird but I have seen some turbahs much smaller in some mosques. That way, I would put the tasbih on the ground and use it for sajdah without being looked at like an alien. 3/ Does pointing the finger unvalid the prayer ? Like just pointing it, not moving it up and down like some of them do ? 4/ Can I pronounce a small qunut before rukuu without raising my hands ? I know you will probably say I am being a bit stressed out but I have been to a number of sunni mosques before, but it was a long time ago and decided I wouldn't go back unless in major cases, because I have been badly treated by a few guys who were kind of rude. I would like to make this a pleasant place to worship Allah, rather that a "place of taqqiyah" if you know what I mean... Thanks for your time Maa salama
