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?

Q: I have a few questions;
1. I’m a student at a university in Saudi Arabia. I sometimes have lectures from 3pm- 4pm, when asr time is around 3:20pm. The Muslims around me don’t get up and perform their salah when the prayer is called, they make it up after the lecture is over. So I wanted to ask, is it permissible to not attend to salaah because you are in a lecture hall while the teacher is teaching? I was very confused because I didn’t know whether I was just being overly attentive to my salah times and stressing over how to manage my classes timings and the salaah timings, or whether it’s essential for us Muslims to attend to our salaah immediately and a lecture is no excuse.
2. Sometimes I am eating, and the azaan is called, what should I do in that case? Should I stop eating and pray, then come back and finish my food? Or should I finish my food and then go pray?
