Repelling the evil whispers of shaitaan in salaaah
Q: Is it permissible/recommended for a person to spit in salaah if he finds whispers of shaitaan troubling him? Is there anything else he should rather do based on authentic narrations?
The below narration is from Muslim Shareef:
O Messenger of Allah, the shaytaan interferes between me and my prayer and my recitation, and he makes me confused. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “That is a devil called Khinzab. If you feel that, then seek refuge with Allah from him and spit dryly to your left three times.” He said: I did that and Allah took him away from me.
Please advise.

Also, what will be the count of the Esha Rakaats taking into consideration either 4 or 2 Rakaats before, these 4 mentioned in the Hadith and also the 2 Rakaats sitting after Witr?

Fidyah for a person with dementia
Q: My grandmother passed away some years ago. During the final portion of her life (approximately two years), she suffered from dementia, due to which she would be very confused as to what day it was, whether she had eaten or not, etc. At this time, she stopped performing salaah as well. My questions are:
(1) Does fidyah need to be paid for the all salaah she did not perform during the period she suffered from dementia?
(2) If yes, can the fidyah be paid from her estate/wealth?
(3) If the fidyah cannot be paid from the estate, who is responsible for paying it?

Could you please guide me on practical steps, habits, and any duas or actions that can help me stay firm and disciplined in my salaah?
