Salaah

Intention for salaah

Q: Is the salaah valid if a person makes the intention before salaah in non-arabic, and instead of using the word “Fajr”, he says “morning prayer” or instead of using the word “Maghrib”, he says “evening prayer”?

Performing salaah with animate pictures on one's clothes

Q:

1. If one prayed salaah while wearing clothes with a human picture which one missed to see and saw only after looking at them carefully, would those salaahss be valid? Does one need to repeat those salaahs?

2. What about praying salaah in clothes which have clear human/animal pictures?

3. If one prays next to or in front or behind someone wearing such clothes or wearing a work ID with visible picture of the person (around 2 inches in lenth and 2 inches in width) would the salaah be valid due to being in close proximity of a picture?

Forgoing salaah

Q: Its been 7-8months since I’m not praying regularly like most probably 3-4 times a day. For the last 2-3 weeks I’m not getting any fear of Allah and not praying regularly. I’m also feeling bad about not praying but still I’m not getting that fear and praying. Please can you suggest some tips.
