Hearing one's own recitation in Salaah
Q: Question regarding reciting inaudibly. In my case I was praying Dhuhr Fardh and quietly as to hear my own voice, in my last (4th rak'ah) - I was reciting "Ghayril Maghdoubi" at Maghdoobi, I could only clearly hear "Ma--doobi" the Gha wasn't proper so that I could hear, but I moved my tongue to recite it as normal. Obviously I didn't want to recite "Ma--doobi", so I think I inaudibly said the gha, does this matter or affect the validity of the namaz?

Substituting the Sunnah Muakkadah with Qadhaa Salaah
Q: A person has excessive (many years) of Qadhaa Salaah. Due to weakness, would it be correct for a person to substitute the Sunnah Muakkadah
before/after each Salaah with Qadhaa Salaah? For example, at the time of Fajr, instead of performing two Rak'aats of Sunnah Muakkadah, a person makes intention and performs two Rak'aat of Fajr Qadhaa. Or at the time of Zuhr, instead of performing four Rak'aat of Sunnah Muakkadah, a person performs four Rak'aat of Zuhr Qadhaa. Would this be correct?
