Performing Salaah at sunset
Q: I want to know that can a person offer any Salaah during zawaal time in the evening? I had heard some Mufti saying that the particular day's asr can be offered. What is the time for zawaal before maghrib?
Times of Salaah
The time of ishraaq Salaah
Q:
1. When does the time of Ishraaq end?
2. A person engages in Zikr after Fajr Salaah till the commencement of Ishraaq. He stops his Zikr, performs his Ishraaq at this earliest time, and thereafter resumes his Zikr until completion. Will it be better for him to complete all his Zikr first, and then perform his Ishraaq Salaah? Or will it be better to pause his Zikr and perform Ishraaq at the earliest time?
Salaah time expiring while one is performing Salaah
Q: If a person started praying a particular prayer, but before he could complete that prayer, the prayer time ended, and a new prayer time began. Does he then need to repeat his prayer, or would the prayer that he already prayed be considered a Qada prayer, and therefore there is no need for him to repeat his prayer?

Q: I started praying Maghrib Fardh about 30-31 mins after Maghrib started (according to the calendar) and finished 41 mins or so after Maghrib started.
