Times of Salaah

Q: This morning I thought fajar happened around 6:35 so when I woke up around 6 I thought there was still time to pray. I went and made wudu and I am kind of sure that the sky was dark but there was like a very faint light when I started. I didn't think it was that late so I started praying. I struggle with OCD so it takes me a while to pray even four rakaat and when I was done the sky was still dark but it was a lighter blue colour. Did I pray at a forbidden time? Did my namaaz not count? I am so doubtful and my OCD makes everything so hard can you please tell me what I should do? If I have to repent or make it up do I read the prayer of repentance after making wudu?

Q: I have heard one is able to join prayer like zuhr and asr when need be. I am a student and I can never get any work done at home so I go to the library. Only the time between the two namazes are like three hours. Is it ok for me to join the two in this case because that gives me so much more time to sit there and get my work done?

Q: Please advise if we can perform Asr Salaah in Shafi'ee time . This is done to accommodate staff that have transport problems and will not be able to make jamaat if Asr salaah is performed during hanafi time. Please advise.

Q: If asr Salaah is until maghrib and if esha Salaah is until fajr, then why is there a hadith that says asr is until the sun turns yellow or pale and esha is until midnight?

Q: Is it ok to read Asar and Esha at the time set by Imam Abu Yusuf, especially if one is reading alone and it is easier to do so at that time.

Q: Can you please tell me if our Esha Salaah gets late, could it be read after midnight? Because after midnight a new day commences? Please can you help me?

Q: Please advise on the ruling regarding joining of Salaahs when one is a musaafir. Most people join their salaah saying it is permitted as a musafir and better to join than miss it. And in which circumstances will it be permissible to join? If a person joins their Salaah regularly as a musafir will the salaah be valid?

Q: I have two questions which I kindly request you to answer me.

1. I have doubt regarding tahajjud Salaah. I want to know when it exactly ends. Say the fajr Salaah starts at 5.23 am in where I live , now. Till wheat time then can we pray tahajjud Salaah? I want to know the timing so I can rectify if I make any mistakes.

2. Can we recite salawatun naariya with a particular niyat to be fulfilled? Where I live people recite it 4444 times with a particular niyat he or she has. Is it permissible?

Q: If I perform a namaz other than Asr that I start late just before the prayer time ends and then when I finish it is like a couple of minutes over it's time. Does the prayer count or must it be made up?

Q: Zawal is at 12:10. A person starts praying at 12:05 and finishes the prayer at 12:15. Does his prayer become totally invalid and baatil due to part of it falling in zawal time, or will it still be valid but with karaahat?
