Pulling a person back from the front saff in Jamaat Salaah

Q: In Salaah in Jamaat, when pulling a person back from the front saff to join him in the back saff so he doesn't read Salaah alone in the saff: 

  1. Does he pull the person from the middle of the saff or from the side of the saff?
  2. How will the front saff get completed again? 
  3. If a third person then came and joined the second saff, can any one of them move into the front saff if that space is still open?

Time for Tahajjud Salaah

Q: My question relates to the times of Tahajud. When i was in madressah I was taught that we could read from just after 12am till about 15min before fajar salah. Recently I was told many different things regarding the times. What would be the right time to read Tahajud salah and the cut off time?

Salaatul Istikhaara

Q: I would like to know if it is permissible to recite Salaatul Istikhara even if you only intend on marrying the desired person after a couple of years. I have heard that after reading the Salaah then nikaah should not be delayed. Please can you also tell me more about the Salaatul Istikhara that is read on a persons behalf, also what are the conditions of that Salaah?

Esha & Taraweeh Salaah at home

Q: We are curently performing Esha Salaah and Taraweeh Salaah at our home. The closest Musjid is about 4-5 kms away. There is a musallah which is 2 kms away. Someone mentioned to me that it isn't permissible for us to perform the esha Salaah at our home. We have to perform Esha Salaah at the Musjid and then return home to perform the Taraweeh. Please advise?
