Conditions for the validity of Salaah

Q: While performing Tahajjud Salaah, the time for Fajr enters. What should be done? Will these two rakaats suffice for the two rakaats sunnat of fajr?

Q: I need to know can we offer Zohr and asr, maghrib and esha prayer together? If yes than at what time?

Q: I traveled from Cape Town to KZN for work for approximately 10 days. My work requires much travel to far flung places like Durban, Harrismith, Van Reenen and Vryheid. Based on the locations of the work areas, can I combine my salaah for my entire stay in KZN or should I make salaah separately after three days?

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: I have a question, when you finish praying and in about two hours time you find some little  sperm (which is light like water). Do you have to repeat that prayer?

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: My question is related to making the verbal niyyah before salah. Is it a bida'h? I have gone through a lot of articles regarding this matter. Some people say that it is bida'h. Some say that it is okay to say it verbally whereas some say that it is not from the sunnah, that our prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not use to do this. He would rather make intention in the heart and start the salaah with Allah Akbar. I am confused with it and don't want to fall in doing something wrong. So if you can guide me to the right path Insha Allah. I also want to know if the intention is to be made in the heart only then what are things that should be said in the heart.

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: Our masjid was built in the 1980’s and the committee at that time put the carpet in line with the building although the qibla was at an angle so that more musalees could pray salaah. The qibla is out by approximately 23 degrees. The link bellow shoes the correct qibla in Blue line and the qible being used is in line with the centre ridge of the roof.

A mufti gave a fatwa some years after the masjid was built, that they could continue praying salaah in the current wrong direction to prevent controversy, but if the carpet is ever changed, then the correct qibla should be followed. Last month the current committee changed the carpet (knowing the fatwa given by the mufti to change the qibla direction if the carpet is changed) but kept the old incorrect qibla. Will salaah in the masjid with the wrong qibla be accepted? Does the committee need to move the carpet so that the correct qibla is achieved?

Q: What is the ruling regarding bleeding piles and salaat. Recently I was on a trip to Cape Town. Before returning, I performed salaat at the musallah at the airport where I was the imam. When I returned home I noticed that there was some blood on my underwear, which was from piles. I am not sure at what point the piles were bleeding. Please advise what action/s need to be taken, if any, regarding my salaat and that of the jamaat.
