Salaah

Q: Can I read zohar namaz 10 or 15 minutes befor azaan?

Q: Is it permissible in Hanafi madhab to do rafa' yadhain? Please clarify.

Q: My question is this that if we are 30 miles far away from our home do we need to pray qasar namaaz?

Q: If we forget to say dua-e-qanoot in witar what should we do then?

Q: In the month of Ramadhaan, there are many jamaats for Taraaweeh salaah in our area. Taraaweeh salaah is performed in homes, garages, factories, etc.

Certain people do not perform the Esha salaah in the musjid, but rather perform it at the venue where they perform the taraaweeh salaah. As soon as the time of Esha enters, they perform their Esha salaah and then commence their Taraaweeh salaah. In our area, the musjid is close to the venues of these taraaweeh jamaats.

Is it correct for the people to perform their Esha salaah in the taraaweeh venues or should they perform their Esha Salaah in the Musjid and thereafter proceed to their taraaweeh venues?

Q: What is the status of performing salaah on a chair? If a person is unable to sit on the ground, and cannot perform the sajdahs on the ground, can he sit on a chair and perform salaah with gestures? 

Q: What is the position of waseela that we make dua to be granted to our beloved prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) after Azan?

Q: When I was in my prayer (I was waiting for the Imaam to end the prayer with salaam) in congregation,

1. I needed to use the washroom urgently. In that condition, is it permissible to end the prayer by myself and go to the washroom, or is it not permissible?

2. My stomach was well. If my stomach had been upset, would it be permissible to end salaah before the Imaam (the same act which is asked in Question 1)?

Q: How many miles if we are far away from our home to pray qasar namaz?

Q: I believe that in a book I read titled, Laws of salah, written by Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadari Razavi (Dawat-e-Islami) it said on the hundred and fifth page these following words:-

'After you finish surah Fatihah, utter amin in a low volume and then recite either three short ayahs or one long ayah that is equivalent to three short ayahs or any surah such as surah Ikhlas.'

I had a query based on the last line of this paragraph. When it quotes, 'or any surah,' do you think that this is implying that after surah Fatihah has been recited you can recite another surah, or is it suggesting that after surah fatihah you can recite an ayah that is equivalent to another surah, or do you think that it can be referring to both?
