Times of Salaah

Q: For how many minutes is the duration of Maghrib before Esha sets in. If, for some reason, the Maghrab salaah is delayed for about ten minutes, would it be valid or treated as Qazaa?

Q: A male has a valid reason for performing Salaah at home. For Fajr Salaah, should he perform it when it is still dark (like for woman at home) or when it is bright (like for men in the Masjid)?

Q: If the awwal waqt for a salaah has come in e.g. asr, but the azaan has not yet gone in the masjid. If a person enters the masjid, will it be disliked at all that he reads his Sunnats although the azaan has not gone yet? If it is disliked, then would this be the case in a musallah that only gives 10 minutes between azan and salah, and a person would like to perform lengthy Sunnats and start before the azaan?

Q: On Fridays, should women offer the Zuhar namaz after men arrives from musjid after offering their namaz? Can women offer Friday zuhar namaz after the azaan?

Q: If a person is performing nafil salah and his watch beeps to say zawaal time has come in, should he finish the salaah as soon as possible or should he break the salaah?

Q:

1) How many minutes before and after the zawaal time is salaah not allowed?

2) If a person is performing salaah and zawaal time comes in, what happens?

3) If a person in the masjid is unknowingly performing salaah through zawaal time what should be done?

Q:

1. I prayed Fajr at about 6:02 and it expires on the calendar at about 6:06, but before I prayed I looked outside and at first I noticed it was light and at the distance I seen in the clouds a reddish smudge, like at the time of Maghrib. Can Fajr expire before the calendar time or is it 100% accurate?

2. I prayed Fajr Qada in-case and at my last rak'ah in tashahhud I didn't have khushoo as I needed to relieve myself, does this affect the validity of my prayer? I leant on one side to hold it and before tasleem I moved back.

Q: Asr jamaat in the Tableelighi jamaat Musjid is at 4:45 PM whereas in the Ahle Hadith Musjid it is 3:45 PM. So can I offer my asr Salaah at the Ahle Hadith Musjid?

Q: This morning I thought fajar happened around 6:35 so when I woke up around 6 I thought there was still time to pray. I went and made wudu and I am kind of sure that the sky was dark but there was like a very faint light when I started. I didn't think it was that late so I started praying. I struggle with OCD so it takes me a while to pray even four rakaat and when I was done the sky was still dark but it was a lighter blue colour. Did I pray at a forbidden time? Did my namaaz not count? I am so doubtful and my OCD makes everything so hard can you please tell me what I should do? If I have to repent or make it up do I read the prayer of repentance after making wudu?

Q: I have heard one is able to join prayer like zuhr and asr when need be. I am a student and I can never get any work done at home so I go to the library. Only the time between the two namazes are like three hours. Is it ok for me to join the two in this case because that gives me so much more time to sit there and get my work done?
