Q: When performing qadha salaat (qadha umri) at home, do I need to recite Iqamat?
The qadha salaah that I was offering was not missed by me in the first instance. I had offered them but later it transpired that those salaat were not valid. For such salaah, should I recite iqamat when performing it at home?
Q:
1. My parents passed away when I was a minor. My mother was shot when I was 2 years old and my father was shot when I was 6 years old. Does that make both of them shaheed?
2. I'm unaware of any qadha salaahs or fast if they had any. I was told that my father used to cover up qadha salaahs, I'm not sure if he completed it. What must I do on behalf of them? I would have estimated how many salaahs and fasts they had from the age of their puberty till demise and paid for every salaah and fast but I'm not a wealthy person. I dont know if I should give kafaarah on their behalf for any qadha salaah and fasts and how much I need to pay for them both as I am unaware of the amount of qadha salaahs or fasts for them both. What must I do?
Q: How should salaats missed over several years be performed and discharged in a situation where one has no record of the number of salaats missed and from when?
One also does not know when one had become baaliq, in which case, does missed salaats have to be estimated from the age of 12 or 15?
Q: Dad was ill in hospital and shortly after he got admitted he passed away. He did not give wasiyat for his missed fast and salaah, so I've taken it upon myself to fulfil some sort of kaffarah (fidyah) on his behalf, and insha'allah Allah will accept.
In terms of spending the kaffarah (fidyah), there is a young baligh male who is from a poor family and needs to sort out his final year of studies in order for him to get his degree/diploma in order to move forward with his life.
Is it possible for me to give him the money or a 3rd party who is currently financially responsible for his payments to pay off his final year of studies?
Q:
1. How do we know number of missed prayer when we used to pray occasionally (based on years) and how to perform those missed prayers?
2. Can we attach one extra prayer in lieu of missed prayers in Fajr and Maghrib?
Q: If one wasn’t sure if he was a Saahib-e-Tarteeb or not i.e. if he had 7 prayers to make up and then made 2 up and had 5 remaining and went to make up missed prayers and then it was close to the Makrooh time of Asr and he hadn’t prayed Asr and wasn’t sure if he should perform Asr first and then do Qada or whether he had to do Qada first. What should he do?
Q: My father is ill and unable to perform his salaah. I understand that I cannot perform the salaah for him. Is there any other way for me to cover up his salaah for him, and if so, how much will it cost to pay for his salaah? We estimate around 50 years without salaah. He has a house which just got paid off to the value of approx R800 000 and a car to the value of approx R40 000.
Q: My father passed away recently and was in hospital and unable to perform salaah for a few days. We have tallied up the salaats (5 daily salaats including witr) from the time he was admitted. We have calculated 63 salaats.
The query relates to firstly the Sadaqatul Fitr figure which we are unsure how to calculate and the persons to whom we may distribute this amount to. My father missed salahs during the period 9th - 19th August 2021.
Q: If a woman has qadha salaah, is she allowed to read nafl salaahs (chast/awwabeen, etc.) and is she allowed to read the sunnah salahs (sunnah of Asr, etc.) or must she first complete her qadha?
Q: I missed 25 years of salaah. I was told that I have to make up for all the missed salaah. I did not know until now. Do I still have to make up for the missed salaah?
Can I make taubah and promise Allah Ta'ala to perform each salaah from now onwards without missing a single salaah? After making taubah, must I still perform the 25 years of missed salaah?
