Salaah

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?

Q: Under which circumstances do you have to break your salaah when your parents call for you?

Q: In Saudi do hanafis read asr in jamaat with the imaam at shafi time?

Q:

1. Should I be silent behind the Imam in the 3rd and fourth rakah of isha and 3rd rakaat of maghrib?

2. If the muqtadi recites behind the imam in loud and quiet salah is he sinful for it? Please clarify.

Q: Is it permissible for Hanafis to join the congregation combining two Salats during rain, storms, etc. as it is practiced in some countries? If it is permissible, are there any conditions like severity of the weather etc. to be fulfilled?

Q: When I woke up for fajar and after I performed wudhu there were 3 minutes left for sunrise. I therefore performed only the 2 rakahs fardh fajar and did not offer the 2 rakah sunnah. Was I correct?

Should I offer the 2 rakahs sunnah later?

Q: Can I recite Surah Faatiha in quiet Salaah because I heard this is the opinion of Imam Muhammad (Rahmatullahi Alayh). Please clarify.

Q: Is doing qadha namaaz bad?

Q: If one began to perform the Asr prayer, and the Maghrib Azaan commenced while the person is still performing the prayer, will the Asr prayer be valid or is it fardh to perform the Qada'?
