Salaah

Q: A lot of people tell me that you can delay isha prayer till midnight, is this true?

Q: I have a few questions;

1. I’m a student at a university in Saudi Arabia. I sometimes have lectures from 3pm- 4pm, when asr time is around 3:20pm. The Muslims around me don’t get up and perform their salah when the prayer is called, they make it up after the lecture is over. So I wanted to ask, is it permissible to not attend to salaah because you are in a lecture hall while the teacher is teaching? I was very confused because I didn’t know whether I was just being overly attentive to my salah times and stressing over how to manage my classes timings and the salaah timings, or whether it’s essential for us Muslims to attend to our salaah immediately and a lecture is no excuse.

2. Sometimes I am eating, and the azaan is called, what should I do in that case? Should I stop eating and pray, then come back and finish my food? Or should I finish my food and then go pray?

Q: I read the Q&A related to performing jamaat salaah in a hotel in Al Haram, at http://muftionline.co.za/node/13093 and http://muftionline.co.za/node/25791 and http://muftionline.co.za/node/27480

In Pakistan, many masjids have 1st floor and few have 2nd floors as well. Please enlighten me that performing jamaat salaah on 1st and 2nd floor is valid or not?

Q: I've travelled from Mumbai to Jaipur (distance 1150 km) on 30th Aug 2019 on an official visit and my stay will be till 14th Sep (total of 15-16 days). Insha-Allah on 2nd Sep I'll be going to Ajmer for 1 day on a personal visit (distance 135 km) and shall come back on the same day to the same hotel. After coming back I'll stay upto 14th Sep for offical work.

After arrival in Jaipur, should I offer qasar namaaz as per hanafi school of belief?

Q: If I have filth on my clothes less than the size of a dirham and water touches it and the diameter increases from one dirham, can I pray in those clothes?

Q: When I recite my salaah, its very difficult for me to recite the word Rahman due to the sound of letter haa. The sound that comes out of my mouth is more like Raman. The rest of the recitation I don't have an issue. Is my salaah valid?

Q:

1. If I am praying behind the imam and I have a few rakats to pray, when do I stand up; after the imam's first salam or when he finishes both salams?

2. If I stand up after the first salam, is my prayer valid?

Q:

1. If I am offering my qadha namaz and iqamah is called for the next prayer, do I have to stop praying qadha?

2. If I prayed full qadha namaz in this situation, is my qaza prayer valid?

3. What if I am just about to complete my qadha prayer and iqamah is called for the next prayer?

Q: If a person fulfilled all his past sajdah sahw as a single sajdah instead of 2 sajdas due to ignorance of it, will qaza have to be made? 

Q: I pray all my salaah but most of the time when I read salaah there is no concentration (jamaat or alone). I don't know whether my salaah is accepted or not and I also get bad doubts.
