Salaah

Q: I have a question, when you finish praying and in about two hours time you find some little  sperm (which is light like water). Do you have to repeat that prayer?

Q: Whilst performing a Qada prayer, one had just finished reciting "As-Salamu-Alaykum" of the first Salaam, and before one could complete "Wa Rahmatullah" (and even before the second Salaam), one's wudhu broke. Is this prayer to be repeated?

Q: A male has a valid reason for performing Salaah at home. For Fajr Salaah, should he perform it when it is still dark (like for woman at home) or when it is bright (like for men in the Masjid)?

Q: My question is related to making the verbal niyyah before salah. Is it a bida'h? I have gone through a lot of articles regarding this matter. Some people say that it is bida'h. Some say that it is okay to say it verbally whereas some say that it is not from the sunnah, that our prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not use to do this. He would rather make intention in the heart and start the salaah with Allah Akbar. I am confused with it and don't want to fall in doing something wrong. So if you can guide me to the right path Insha Allah. I also want to know if the intention is to be made in the heart only then what are things that should be said in the heart.

Q: I only perform "Fard" and not Sunnat sometimes when I am tired or hungry.

Q: If the awwal waqt for a salaah has come in e.g. asr, but the azaan has not yet gone in the masjid. If a person enters the masjid, will it be disliked at all that he reads his Sunnats although the azaan has not gone yet? If it is disliked, then would this be the case in a musallah that only gives 10 minutes between azan and salah, and a person would like to perform lengthy Sunnats and start before the azaan?

Q: Is it permissible to perfrom Salaah on a Musalllah which has a 'picture' of Musjid ul Haraam or would it be disrespectful?

Q: Our masjid was built in the 1980’s and the committee at that time put the carpet in line with the building although the qibla was at an angle so that more musalees could pray salaah. The qibla is out by approximately 23 degrees. The link bellow shoes the correct qibla in Blue line and the qible being used is in line with the centre ridge of the roof.

A mufti gave a fatwa some years after the masjid was built, that they could continue praying salaah in the current wrong direction to prevent controversy, but if the carpet is ever changed, then the correct qibla should be followed. Last month the current committee changed the carpet (knowing the fatwa given by the mufti to change the qibla direction if the carpet is changed) but kept the old incorrect qibla. Will salaah in the masjid with the wrong qibla be accepted? Does the committee need to move the carpet so that the correct qibla is achieved?

Q: If the iqaamat has just started, and one joins the saff next to someone one knows, should one greet them or shake hands? Or ignore them because iqaamat is on?

Q: What is the ruling regarding bleeding piles and salaat. Recently I was on a trip to Cape Town. Before returning, I performed salaat at the musallah at the airport where I was the imam. When I returned home I noticed that there was some blood on my underwear, which was from piles. I am not sure at what point the piles were bleeding. Please advise what action/s need to be taken, if any, regarding my salaat and that of the jamaat.
