Q: My mum passed away a month ago and someone told me that we need to pay for any Salaah that she might have missed.  She was very regular with her Salaah, however, in the last few weeks before she passed away she became very ill and wasn’t able to perform her Salaah.  I’ve been told that we need to pay R10.00 for every Salaah missed.  Please would you advise whether this is correct and also how should this be paid, i.e. is it Lillah, Sadaka, etc. and which organization would be the best to pay it to or can we give it to someone who is poor.

Q: Exactly when is it makruh to pray when having a urge to urinate? Is this only when one is realy about to urinate such that he is realy pressing himself to hold ? Sometimes I take wudhu and after a while I get a feeling of having little pressure, but I can feel myself freely without pressing to hold myself.

Can you tell me from which point the urge/pressure does become makruh?

Q: In  a country  where esha and fajr time does not exist in certain months like England UK, can a Mazoor person who has made wudhu for maghrib salaah pray esha and fajr with the wudhu which was made for maghrib salaah? 

Q: Mazoor person who has to do wudhu for each salaah, does he have to do  wudhu for maghrib  and esha salaah separately, when combining maghrib  and esha salaah in Muzdalifah  or making wudhu once for maghrib will suffice for both prayers maghrib and esha?

Q: I have OCD therefore in salaah I try to keep silent but as I try to do so it counter attacks me (the opposite occurs), thus by force I make a small sound or a small sound which can be the result speech, thus I should repeat my salaah until I feel I havent made a sound or speech, but lately I said enough is enoug this can be something like wasaawis which I also have a problem with thus weather I make a small sound or speech I regard my salaah as valid, please what should I do?

Q: I have read that during namaz one should focus on the words being recited. But if one does not know the meaning of those words, how is it possible to "focus" on those words? Should we imagine that we are actually "seeing" those words written somewhere, similar to focusing on text written in a book.

Q: I have missed out many farz prayers in the past and would like to make up for them. Please let me know at which times is it not permissible to pray qaza namaz?
