Salaah

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. 

When should the tasmee and tahmeed be recited?

Q: 

1. I am a student of deen. I wish to know whether the imaam and muqtadee should recite tahmeed in salaah? If they should recite it, then when should they recite it? Should they recite it while rising from ruku or while standing in qaumah? I have heard that there is a difference of opinion in the Hanafi Mazhab in regard to this mas’alah.

2. Should the munfarid recite tasmee and tahmeed or only tahmeed?

When should the tasmee and tahmeed be recited?

Q: I was always of the impression that the muqtadee should recite tahmeed in qaumah after the imaam completes reciting tasmee. However, I was lately informed by certain Ulama that the muqtadee should recite tahmeed at the same time that the imaam recites tasmee. I would like to know whether this is correct? I also wish to know whether all my past salaah are valid since I have always been reciting tahmeed in qaumah after the imaam completed reciting tasmee.
