Salaah

Social distancing in salaah

Q: Is social distancing in salaah permissible? My ustadhs say its not permissible and its makrooh tahreemi and that's what I follow but at home, my brother says its allowed because the hadith needs interpretations and that Hazrat Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that flee from a leper. So how would you flee from a lion? He also said that Umar (radiyallahu anhu) didn't want to enter a land of the plague and he said that all the Ulama that say social distancing is not permissible are weak in usoolul fiqh and weak Ulama.

Reciting "Salloo fi buyootikum" in place of "Hayya alas Salaah" and Hayya alal Falaah"

Q: Nowadays, masaajid being closed, azaan is a bit modified. In place of Hayya alas Salaah, Hayya ala Falaah, it is said, Salloo fi buyutikim and salloo fi rihalikum. Is it permissible to change azaan and was it done in the era of Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum)? How should we reply to these words?

Performing qadha of missed salaah

Q: I want to ask a couple of questions regarding qadha prayers.

1. What should be my niyaah when praying qadha namaz and what time of the day should I offer it?

2. How should I offer my qadha prayers, given that I have the following ones left? (I have only made an estimation, because I don't remember the count exactly): Fajr-4, Zuhr-6, Maghrib-1, Isha-Salaat-ul-witr of 2-2.5 years (around 800)

3. Do I need to offer all of the witr prayers or is there any alternative to it? I request you to outline the complete method, so that I can offer them as quickly as possible.

Performing nafl salaah with the intention of qadha for any salaah one may have missed

Q: Is it possible to make intention during nafl salaah that the nafl salaah be accepted for any qadha salaahs that one may have - specifically qadha salaahs that one may not be knowing of e.g. when ghusl after menstruation has been delayed or when a salaah may not have been performed in a state of wudhu unintentionally or one's ankles/hair may have been exposed, thus rendering salaah invalid?
