Q: I have been on holiday for 10 days so I've been reading Qasr salaah and was supposed to leave back home on the 14th day. I've decided to stay on another week. Do I continue reading Qasr salaah or I have to start reading full salaah.
Q: I plan on travelling for holiday oversees for 20 days. I will be staying by family in a city but I will be travelling to other cities as well during the 20 days. Should I read qasr salaah or full salaah?
Q: Please advise how to soften my heart. I recently cannot cry. No matter how afraid I am of my sins and meeting Allah Ta'ala, I cannot cry when making dua. If it's my medication, do I stop it? What if I battle without my medication? At the same time, I'm worried about becoming hard hearted.
I also cannot concentrate at all in my salaah. How do I become a better Muslim?
Q: I read in one of your fatwas that if a person is unable to pray standing in a plane and therefore prays seated, they must repeat the salah later on. Is this because
* The first salah was invalid - so that they should intend qada when they repeat it?
* Or was the first salah valid (i.e. fulfilled the fard) and the second one just a repetition of it in a more perfect manner?
Q: Our area masjid is closed due to renovation. We now perform Salah at two temporary venues. We have one azan that is given from the masjid that is closed, and no azan from the temporary musallahs.

Q: Namaz behind such imam:
If there's a Barelvi masjid in my area and they say the following before or after azan: "assalatu wassalamu alaika ya rasulullah wa ala alika wa ashabika ya noor Allah"
Can I pray behind them and if not, should I repeat every prayer behind them?
Q: A person wakes up in need of a Fardh Ghusl 15 minutes before sunrise. There is no hot water and the person has chronic health issues. Using cold water will cause his health to deteriorate. It takes approximately 15 minutes to heat up sufficient water for Ghusl. If he waits, the time will expire and Fajr Salaah will become Qadha. What should be done in such a situation?
