Salaah

Q: I would like to know if there is a way I could pay for the missed salahs in my case.

After giving birth my menses cycle did not go normal and was bleeding continuously due to feeding. An Aalimah told me I needed to refer back to my habit previous of pregnancy which was 23 days of tuhr and 5 days of haidh. In this way while doing the calculations almost 2 years later I have discovered I have missed about 400 salah.

With 2 children it may become difficult to perform qadha. Is there a way I could pay for this miscalculation or does Qadha have to be performed?

Q: A person commenced his sunnat of Zuhar. Then he realized that the time of Zuhar is about to end so he changed his intention to fardh. Will this intention be valid?

Q: Can and imaam put on a short sleeve jubba to perform salaat in jama'ah?

Q: Is it sunnat to make dua after fardh salaat and a hadith supporting it if it's true. Many of my friends tell me that's an Indian innovation and not a sunnat of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Please advise. 

Q: What nafl salaah can one perform during the day for rizq and sustenance and for success? What must ones intention be when performing such nafl salaah?

Q: I can not sit in salaah. I have knee problem and the doctor isn’t doing anything to help. I also have loud cracks when sitting down and standing up. Can you help me and tell me how I can sit because I am unable to sit in the positions in salaah. I am only 13 years old also and I have done lots of exercises and medicine but they didn’t help.

Q: I am pregnant and sometimes find it difficult to come up from sajdah without support. Once while performing salaah next to the bed, I rested my hand on the bed to take support while coming up from sajdah. Was my salaah valid?

Q: If someone is offering namaz and during namaz he feels that his wudhu is broken then what should he do in such a situation? Specifically if he is in the last rakaat?

Q: When you want to read a big surah in salaah, but not in full. Is it okay to read from anywhere in the surah and stop anywhere? And can you read one part of a surah in the first rakaat, the part after that in the second rakaat? Or do you have to read different surahs in each rakaat? 

Q: I don't pray salah because I find it very difficult. I can't manage time nor do I have good health. I also have to do wudu every time I pray and change clothes. Praying salah involves so much, I struggle with it very much. I'm amazed how some people can pray salah 5 times per day without struggle or any problems. Please give me some advise how to manage time, how to discipline myself to pray salah and how to make prayer most important thing in my life.
