I think I made a mistake in Salah where I didn’t go down for Ruku and started reading standing up. But when I realized I did Ruku and said that part again. Is my prayer valid?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Missing Ruku' invalidate Salah because Ruku' is one of the basic five obligatory acts of Salah. If you remembered and performed Ruku; before going for next step, then your Salah will be valid. If you go ahead to next Rak'at, before performing Ruku', then Salah is invalid because of missing one basic obligatory act.

'Wassalam.
Would the prayer be considered valid if we adjusted our trousers during the initial movement of bending for Ruku and then performed the Ruku?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, it would be valid, and there would be no issue with your prayer. 

And Allah knows best
Is saying "Samiallahu liman hamidah" after Ruku optional or is it obligatory?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is recommended and not obligatory to say it. No doubt saying it will bring reward which you will not get if you don’t say it.

Should all of one's fingers be reaching the knees when bowing in prayer? Should they be position at the upper part of the knee bones?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is compulsory during Rokoo' ركوع to make your hand touch your knee even if your figure touch your knee. If your hand did not touch your knee during Rokoo', your Rokoo' will be invalid.

Wassalam.
