Salaah

Satr becoming visible during salaah

Q:

1. When I make wudhu, water splashes on my thighs and my pants becomes wet. So when I pray, while in the sitting position, the skin from my thighs become somewhat visible because I wear white pants. Is my prayer valid?

2. When I pray, the wind from the fan hits my clothes and the shape of my private part is visible. Also, when some people go into sajdah while wearing pants, the shape of their testes are seen, is the prayer valid?

Performing salaah with jamaat at work

Q: I work in a hospital. The nearest Musjid/Musallah is about 5-6 km away. Alhamdulillah we have permission to travel for Zuhr salaah during our lunch break (Our lunch break is 30 min, but it takes about 40min to go for Zuhr salaah and come back to work) and have been doing so for approximately the last 3 years.

However there are colleagues from other departments in the hospital who are not always able to join us for salaah. Should we request hospital management to give us a room to perform salaah with jamaat, and encourage other colleagues to join us for jamaat, or should we continue to encourage them to join us for salaah at the musjid?
