1) I just experienced a big earthquake 2 days ago, the big earthquake happend twice and there are lots of following small earthquakes (big earthquake usually comes with small earthquakes afterwards), but they have only one source of earthquake, how many times do I have to do salat al ayat? I only did once because they have only one source of earthquake, am I right?

2) There were so many aftershocks, even the really small ones I should consider it as one? How many times do I have to pray if I lost count? Even only for example there's only one minute gap between one aftershock to another aftershock?

3) And if the total amount is too many for me to do it at one time, may I do it one by one sheikh?

3) How about for example, im in 10th floor so I can sense the aftershock easily, and there's my friend that lives in one area with me but he is not in the building, he is for example walking so he cant sense the earthquake, even though the street he is walking on is right in front of the building, does he have to also pray al ayat?
Or for example two persons in one room but one of them is sleeping so he cant sense the earthquake, how about that? all of them have to pray al ayat? or only those who sense it?

1) Salat is required even for those aftershocks if they come after the earthquake. So let’s say there is an earthquake at 12 pm and then at 5 pm there is an aftershock. You would have to pray the Ayat prayer twice.

2) Yes you must pray for the aftershocks as well, unless they were so close to each other such that people see it as one event. If you don’t know how many happened, then you must do only what your certain of. So if you are certain there was at least 10, you only have to do ten. And you can do it one by one

4) Yes the other person must pray as well when they are informed that there was an earthquake or aftershock
