While praying, I was in my second Ruku and leaned forward to rise, but then recalled I needed to perform Tashahud, so I went back down to do it before continuing my prayer. Is my prayer still considered valid?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, your prayer is valid but you need to perform two Sajda of Sahw immediately after your prayer. Sajda of Sahw is prostration and saying : BISMILLAH WA BILLAH ALLAHUMMA SALLI Ala Mohammad Wa AALI Mohammed. Then sitting and prostrating again and repeating the same. Then  saying Tashahhud and Salam.

Wassalam.
Who had owned the ring previously, the one that Hazrat Ali gave in charity to the beggar while in Ruku?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Ali (AS) was the owner of that ring and he gave it to the poor person. According to a narration from Ammar Al-Sabaati عمار الساباطي from Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS), the ring was in the finger of Miran ibn Tawq who was leader of Kafirs who was killed by Imam Ali (AS) and the ring was taken from his fingered by Imam Ali (AS) and was given to the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) who gave it back to Imam Ali (AS) as part of his share from the spoils and put it in his own fingered then gave it to the poor person during his Rukoo'.

'Al-Ghazali who is a well known Sunni scholar stated in his book Sirrul Alamein that the ring which Imam Ali (AS) gave  to the poor during Rukoo' was the ring of Sulaiman (AS).

When should the Takbir be said after Ruku during prayers? Some people say it during Ruku and then rise, while others say it after saying "Sami allahu liman hamidah" and before going down into Sujood?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Takbeer is recommended before and after actions of Salah, like Rukuu', Sojood. Takbeer should be said when you are steady not moving.

Wassalam.
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.
