Question: If one is doubtful in Salaah - as to whether one is in the third or fourth Rakaat, what should one do?

Answer: If doubt has occured for the first time ever in Salaah; then one should repeat the Salaah.

If doubt occurs often; one should apply prudent judgment and practise on that which one’s mind is inclined to. For examle, if you strongly feel that you in the fourth Rakaat - then practice on that.

Furthermore, after applying prudent judgment if doubt still remains, then practice on the lesser of the two amounts; in this case that will be three rakaats.

When acting on the lesser number, one should sit for Tashahhud after each Rakaat and make Sajdah Sahu at the end.

Question: Sometimes I have doubts as to whether I passed wind or not; what is the ruling with regards to Wudhu?

Answer: If you are sure of passing wind, then only does your Wudhu break. That is by hearing or smell. If you did not hear or smell the passing of wind, the Wudhu will be intact.
