If a person deliberately recites those prayers silently which are suppose to be performed aloud or recites those prayers aloud which should be read silently, then his prayer is invalid. You must remember this important point. Fajr (dawn), first 2 rakats of maghrib (evening), and isha (night) prayers are performed aloud. All the rakats of zuhr (noon), asr (afternoon), and the 3r d rakat of maghrib (evening) and last two rakats of isha (night) are performed silently.

In those prayers which are performed silently, takbir tul al ahram and bismillah al rahman al raheem are read aloud. Place of Prayer Despite of the importance of prayer, there are conditions on what place prayer can be performed in. It cannot be performed in every place. The place where you ar e going to pray should not be usurped. You should not pray in a place which is filled with danger such as a place whose roof is weak, a place filled with enemies, thieves, animals, etc.

It should not be place that is used as a walk through for the people. Praying beside or in front of the grave of any Masoomeen (as) will make one s prayer invalid. Your prayer must be performed while standing behind the grave of Masoomeen (as). If the place is wet with najisat (impure), it should not be so wet that its wetness can reach your body or dress. If the place where you will put your forehead is najis (impure),even if it is dry, then your prayer will be invalid.

The height of the place you will perform sajda (prostration) should not be more than four fingers above your ankle.
