Leaving the lesson and performing Salaah

Q: I am taking an online aalimah course and because of time differences, South African time goes from before maghrib 6:00 to 8:30 after esha has already set in. The asaatizah have told us that we should leave for salaah and catch up with the missed portion of the lesson later.i.e. We definitely shouldn't miss our Salaah for classes. Our first lesson completes at 7:00 or 6:45 depending on subject and day. Can I wait for the first lesson to complete and then read my maghrib Salaah before the next subject or should I immediately leave the lesson and catch up later?

Wealth acquired before one's zakaat date

Q: My question is for zakaat, wealth should remain with a person for an "entire lunar year" then zakaat becomes wajib. My question is if a person has one million which remains with him for an entire lunar year, zakaat becomes wajib on him but if he gets half million one week before his zakaat date, does he need to pay zakaat on one million or 1.5 million. Please clarify. (Please note that half million which the person received did not remain with him for an entire lunar year).
