Joining two Salaahs in one Salaah time
Q: When is it permissible to join two salaahs; also what is the niyyat and method?
Salaah
Performing asr salaah in Shaafi time for a musaafir
Q: On safr, is a person allowed to read asr in shafi asr time. If so, then since a hanafi's zuhr ends at asr hanafi, can a person still read zuhr in asr shafi time and after a few minutes read the asr salaah?

Should a woman make qadha of the Salaahs she performed after her husband touched her?
Q: I follow the Shafie madha-hab. I discovered after 9 months of marriage that if the husband touches his wife her wudhu breaks. How do I repay all the salaahs I performed without wudhu?
Performing qadha Salaah before the fardh Salaah
Q: If someone misses fajr prayer, does he have to pray qaza of it before zuhr prayer or he has up until the next fajr (24 hours) to pray fajr qaza? If for some reason he cannot pray fajr qaza before zuhr prayer, does he have to then pray qaza the next morning before fajr prayer?
Mistakenly reciting dua-e-qunoot in Maghrib Salaah
Q: I was performing three fardh of maghrib and by mistake, in the last rakaat, I read surah ikhlas and Dua e qunoot - just like 3 witr wajib of Isha. Then I realized my mistake and offered sajdah sahw. Is my Salah valid? What is the method of correcting my mistake such a situation?
What should a person do if he misses jamaat salaah in the Musjid?

Performing Salaah while wearing shoes

When should the index finger be raised in tashahhud?
Q: I just want to ask when performing the tashahhud, when will I raise my finger and when should I place it down?
Performing Salaah with a sweet taste in the mouth
Q: If your mucus/phlegm has become sweet because of something sweet you ate then will it be okay to pray in that condition? Like in Ramadan when everyone drinks milkshake and eats dates when they break their fast and then they just wash their mouth out with water and stand up for Maghrib Salah even though their mucus is still sweet and the back of their throat is still sweet. Sometimes your mucus remains pink even after you wash your mouth out. What happens if you swallow this pink mucus during salah? Is it sufficient to quickly rinse out your mouth with water before salah or should you wait until the sweet mucus goes away? Sometimes I only break fast with water then eat after I pray to avoid this problem. What is the best way to deal with this?
