Salaah

Qadha salaah

Q:

1. What are the conditions of a baaligha? I started having vaginal discharge at the age of 8, but only began praying and fasting at the age of 11, which is when I first got my period. Must I make up 3 years of prayers and fasts? If I had masturbated before having my first period, and do not recall excreting discharge with any coloration, was I baligh?

2. Can I make up prayers with intention of "this prayer or that"? I have some fajr prayers to make up for (I have no idea how many as I used to sometimes pray them at the time when one should not to sajdah).

3. I also have to make up 2 rakat nafl and sunnat prayers that become wajib when one breaks them, which I did often. So, when I am let's say doing maghrib prayer, for the last 2 rakats, can I make the intention of "either maghrib nafl, fajr fardh, or any wajib"?

Travelling safr distance from watn-e-iqaamat

Q: I decided to travel to Dammam for 17 days. In between I went to some other town for 3 days which is approximately 200kms from Dammam.

My question is, after I came back to Dammam, do I need to pray qasar or full namaz? Initially it was more than 15 days stay so I was praying full namaz but after moving out of town and coming back and less than 15 days of stay left, so will it be qasr or not?

Making the intention of Zuhr salaah when performing Asr salaah

Q:

1. I was praying behind the imaam. The imaam was praying asar salaah and I made intention of zohar salaah and I know that it was asar after the prayer. Is my prayer valid or do I have to redo my asar salah?

2. If I am praying alone or with the imam and it is asar time and I make intention of zohar forgetfully and after one rakaah I realize that it is asar, do I have to redo my prayer?

3. What if it was just at the begninng i.e I am doing recitation before fatiha and I realize that it is asar, do I have to redo my niyyah and start over?

Imaam moving forward when a second person joins the jamaat

Q: I was leading salaah with one muqtadi, who was standing 1 foot behind me, when a second muqtadi joined the prayer. However, the muqtadis did not move back 1 saff, so I dragged my feet and moved 1 saff forward. However, I dragged my feet 4 times to reach my place.

1. Is the salaah valid?

2. Is it necessary for the imaam to move forward if the muqtadis don't move back?

3. Is it necessary for the muqtadis to move behind?
