Q: What is the procedure for reading 4 rakaats of nafil Salaah? After two rakaats, one will sit in qa'dah. Does one have to read till the end of tashahud only or read Durood shareef etc then stand up? In the second two rakaats will one recite Surah fatiha and a Surah or only Surah fatiha?

Q: Qadha Salaah? Ya'nee when a person skipped Salaah without any legislative reason? Then in that case he is not to make up that Salaah.
