Salaah

Forgetting to sit for the last qa'dah

Q: A person was performing a four rakaat fardh salaah. After performing the fourth rakaat, he did not sit for the qa'dah but forgetfully stood up for the fifth rakaat. He then made ruku and sajdah in the fifth rakaat, sat for tashahhud and made salaam.

What is the status of his salaah? Is his fardh salaah valid or does he have to repeat his salaah?

Forgoing Salaah with Jamaat in the Musjid due to not possessing good clothes

Q: I am a teenager. I fullfil my daily salah with jammat but now I can't go to the musjid because I have no more clothes. I have only old clothes which is not in that condition to go musjid with wearing them. I suffered some financial crisis also I am a teenager so my clothes are unusable very fast as I grow but nowadays I am fullfiling my salaah at home. I know this is not the way of the prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) but when I get clothes, I will rejoin musjid insha Allah. I am also very poor. Making clothes only in eid or some events, so this is only problem of some months, so what should I do?

Beginning of Esha time

Q: I read that Maghrib prayer time ends when the redness in the sky goes away. Also I read that it ends half an hour before Isha Azan. Which one is true? Half an hour before Isha azan I feel the sky becomes darker. Can I still pray Maghrib or should I mention as qadha namaz? As I'm a working woman and gets little late to reach home and can't pray in van.

Intention when making qadha of many salaahs

Q: I have qadha salaah from a certain year. I have read salaah in between but I'm not sure when my haiz fell during the year as well as which salaahs I read.

My question is, my intention for the qadha should be made from a specific date that my salaah became obligatory and each date so on till the current date, or should my intention be that, from the first of all the qadha I have right up until a number I assume I missed.
