Why do prayer leaders exclude Aliyyun Waliyullah during Tashahud yet include it in Adhan and Iqamat? If its recitation is not essential, then what justifies its inclusion in the Adhan?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Athaan أذان and Iqama are recommended and we say Ashhadu Anna Aliyyan Waliyyullah being the main fact of proper faith after Tawheed and Nubowwah. This was been announced in Athaan immediately after Ghadeer Khum decleratiin.

Tashahhud is not recommended but obligatory. In Tashahhud we are bound to say exactly what was been said by the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). All  authentic Hadeeths from Prophet and Ahlul Bayt teaching us Tashahhud have the same Tashahhud with out adding any sentence on it. Mentioning Ameerul Mo;mineen (AS) in Tashahhud is allowed or recommended as part of supplication like (ALLAHUMMA SALLI Ala Aliyyin AMEERIL Mo;mineen) and not as a part of Tashahhud. Du’a is permissible in every part in Salah, but Tashahhud must be recited as it was recited by the Prophet. and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Wassalam.
When should Tashahhud be recited in Amaal prayers that can have up to 100 Rakaat? Is it recited after every second Rakat plus the last Rakat like in obligatory prayers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We must recite Tashahhud after every two Rak'ats.

Wassalam.
Is it correct that there is a period between Tashahhud and Salam during which Dua is accepted? If so, is it allowed to do a lengthy Dua of around 5 minutes at this time or is it more preferable to keep it brief?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no specific period between Tashahhud and Salaam as both should be recited simultaneously. Du'a is always permissible during any part of Salah including Tashahhud and Salaam or between them. We have narrated supplications with Tashahhud. The Du'a can be short or long but it should not take you away from the Salah situation.

What should I do if I forgot to sit for the first Tashahud when I am in third or fourth Rakaah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you forget to recite Tashahhud and stand up for the third Rak'at, then remember during your standing, you must sit down immediately on remembering that you forgot Tashahhud. You must recite Tashahhud then stand up for your third Rak'at.

'If you remember that in the forth Rak'at, you need to complete you SALAH till ASSALAMU Alaykum, and immediately recite Tashahhud then perform two Sajda of Sahw by prostrating and saying: Bismillah WABILLAH, ASSALAMU Alaina Ayyuhannabiyyu wa rahmatullah wabarakatuh. Then sit from your Sajda and do second Sajda saying the same, then sitting and reciting Tashahhud and Salam.

Wassalam.
