Salaah

Crying in Salaah

Q: My father passed away 20 days ago. Alhamdollilah Allah Ta'ala gave me a lot of saber and I did not cry in front of anyone. But every time I pray namaz I just automatically cry. I don't know why this happens. I try so hard to control myself because I am scared that shaitan maybe making me cry. Is it ok to cry in namaaz?

Performing Salaah in the forbidden time

Q: As I live in a city and because of the buildings, I can't always see the sky openly. How can I determine that time when salah is forbidden? Is there any trustful program to use, do you know one? I hope it is the one that shows time as salah calendar as I don’t always have wifi on at home? And also, if I didn’t make my fard yet and the forbidden time started, can I still make my salah if I see that due to some reasons I will miss it - like toilet is busy, water is going to be off, etc? How sinful is it to make salah at this time? Also, if I start salah some minutes prior to this time and ended it when this time has started, do I have to repeat my salah?
