Salaah

Q: I am giving exams when I depart from my home. It's Zohar time so I offer it but when I arrive at my home, it's maghrib time so can I offer Asr Salaah at Zohar time or at Maghrib time?

Q: What is the ruling regarding one who misses the jamaat and joins a masbooq while he is performing his missed rakaats? Will the salaah of such a person be valid? Similarly, can one perform his fardh salaah behind a person who is performing his sunnat or nafl salaah?

Q: Is it permissible to read nafl salaah whilst looking inside the Quran and reading?

Q: Is it permissible to perform Salaah when the windows in front of one show one's reflection?

Q: A radio station broadcasts Surah Waaqiya immediately after the Magrib Azaan. Is it permissible to delay performing the Maghrib salaah by about seven minutes and listen to the recitation of the Surah first?

Q: Please can I have the virtues of performing the Sunnats of fajr at home before proceeding to the Musjid for the fardh Salaah?

Q: What is the last time of asr? As in how many minutes before maghrib can asr be read?

Q: Sometimes when I wake up for fajr, I wake up a little late and the time of fajr is nearly on its end. So in that circumstance can I pray only fardh? Because if I pray Sunnah, then to complete my fardh I have to rush my prayer.

Q: Can a child stand with the man in the same row for Salaah. Does the child have to stand in a separate row. Is there any harm for the child to stand with the men. Mufti saheb if there is any hadeeth or reference please do mention it.

Q:

1. Dua I read in tashahud is: Attehhiyyatu, attayibatu, assalavatu, azzakiyyatu Lillahi. Assalamu ala nabiyi va rahmatalluahi va barakatuhu, assalamu aleina va ale ibadillahi ssalihin…. I read it was narrated by Aisha (Radiyallahu Anha) that after the death of our Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) this dua was recited. Could you please tell me how authentic this hadeeth is?

2. Can I be reading this dua instead of assalamu aleyka ayyuhen nabiyu…. If I feel inside of me that I am calling to Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and it gives me waswasa that I am making shirk? Will my salah be valid in shaa Allah? And if I have no waswasa but just like this dua more because it gives me no doubts and there is no direct addressing to Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), is it ok to read it?

3. I like to read Surah ikhlaas in the first two rakahs of fard namaz and in all rakahs of Sunnah namaz. I absolutely love this Surah and I know hadeeth that someone also always read it in all rakahs and nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that Allah also loves you for loving this surah. Can I continue doing so in shaa Allah? Please explain why you say it is makrooh so I can explain to my friends too?

4. In case your answer is negative in 3, can I be reading in the first rakah - surah fatiha, ihlas and first verse of falaq and in second rakah – surah fatiha and Ihlaas? I know so far - fatiha, ihlas falak, nas and ayat al kursi. But I hope in shaa Allah to read ihlas in all rakahs is not a problem, please kindly answer.
