Is it allowed to do Sajdah to Imam Hussain (as) in Karbala? If so, is it superior to praying five times a day?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No Sajda but only to Allah (SWT).

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and The Infallible Imams refused and forbade Sajda to them and said that Sajda is only to Allah (SWT).

We have many authentic Hadeeths on this fact.

The Sajda of the angles to Adam (AS) was in fact to Allah (SWT) who ordered the angles to do it.

Sajda in the shrines of Ahlu Bayt (AS) is in fact Sajda of Shokr (Thanking Prostration) , to thank Allah (SWT) who granted us he great bounty to reach and visit the shrines of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

If I recite the verses of Sajdah of Quran in my mind, rather than aloud, would I have to do the Sajdah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you remember the verse in your mind, it is not called reciting but just thinking or remembering. Sajda is obligatory on reciting or listening to any of the known four verses of Sajda.

Are there any differences in the rules for Sajda in prayer for men and women?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no difference in the obligatory acts of Sajda between man and woman but it is recommended ( Mustahab) for man to raise his arms above the floor putting his hands on the floor while Sajda. For woman, it is recommended for her to put her arms with her hands on the floor while performing Sajda.
