Quote-Regarding your comment on shia prayers, praying only 3 times - I think they do have 5 prayers, but they combine the dhur-asr and maghrib-isha prayers, so it looks like it is three. It is known that the prophet (s.a.w.) sometimes did combine certain prayers for no reason at all (no hardship or travel or bad weather). But the shia's have made this into a permanent routine rather than an exception, whereas the sunnis usually don't know of this flexibility. You may verify this, you might find different opinions regarding this.

Reply:-I thinks you don’t know much about Shia Madhab.Its not only prayers, almost every thing is different. From Shadah to Haj.They only follow the hadiths of their Imams (RA) and in Sahaba(RA) they follow the hadith of Salman Farsi(RA) only. While Sunnis follows the hadiths narrated by all sahaba, (Which fulfill the condition of sahih hadith). One of their Imams may be Imam Jafer, if I am not wrong was the one of the teacher of Imam Abu Hanifh.

The discussion on Shia Madhab is very sensitive issue. I would request you here, not to continue this. To know the Sunni prospective on combine prayers, see the following.

Q.) Can you combine Zuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha salat while traveling? What do the different madhabs say about this? JazakAllahkhair. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.) According to the Hanafi school, it is not permitted to combine the prayers and take a prayer out of its prayer time by either delaying it or performing it before its time. The only exception they have in this, based on the narration of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, is in Arafat (where Zuhr and 'Asr are combined) and in Muzdalifa (where Maghrib and 'Isha are combined). The remaining three schools permit combining in other circumstances too as when a person is traveling, or it is raining heavily, etc.

There are many ahadith related on this issue and have been discussed by the four schools. The Hanafis have judged all the narrations on this issue to be based on the method of "apparent combining" [Jam' al-Suri] not "real combining" [jam' al-Haqiqi]. This position is based on the fact that we are told to make every prayer on time, and there are ahadith of Ibn Mas'ud which clarify that the Prophet never combined the prayers together [by taking a prayer out of its time] except in 'Arafat and Muzdalifa during the pilgrimage.

Quote-Regarding some innovations, was the law (atleast in Pakistan) that women cannot go to funerals a recent innovation? That women may not go for prayers on Friday a recent or past innovation? The burqa would also be an innovation as the prophet is related to have advise to show the face and hands and cover everything else, whereas the burqa covers everything, blocks view, and makes the person prone to trip and hurt herself. There are so many new innovations I see every day but they have become so ingrained in our religious culture and values.

Reply: - What are your evidences that these are innovations. Regarding the burqa I think you are wrongly interpreting the hadith. Prophet (pbuh) said that women have to cover the hole body except then he pointed out face and hands..But it not means that face and hand can not be covered. Obligatory is that the rest of the body must be covered. If some one using the burqa, I don’t find any problem in it. But burqa must be designed in such a way that she can see around easily. This is some thing of common sense only. For funeral I have find this hadith from Bukhari.

Narrated Um 'Atiyya: We were forbidden to accompany funeral processions but not strictly. (Book #23, Hadith #368)

May Allah guide us and increased our wisdom,so it may help us to know what wrong and what is right.

He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding.(2:269)[/quote]
