Salah (Prayers) . Qadha

If I mistakenly perform a Qada prayer as a regular Salah, do I need to redo it with the Qada intention?

Qadha prayer is in fact just like a regular Salah with intention of Qadha. Intention is in your heart and you don't need to pronounce it or mention it on your tongue. When you performed the Qadha prayer, you were aware that it is a Qadha prayer for the sake of Allah. This is enough.

If I arrive at work before Fajr while fasting and can't pray due to a busy morning, can I perform my Fajr Qada prayer later with my Dhuhr and Asr prayers? Will my fast still be valid in that case?

Bismihi ta'āla

You would definitely have enough time in your busy morning, while being awake, to take a 2 minute break and fast. If your employer does not allow it, remove yoursel from this job.

It is a major sin to deliberately not pray, and all the blessings and positivity will be taken away and drained from you if you were to intentionally not pray and take it lightly.

Qadha . Intention (Niyah) . Salah (Prayers) . Nafl . Salatul Layl

Does the distinction between Qada’ and Ada’ in Niyyah apply solely to obligatory prayers? Do voluntary prayers like Salat al-Layl, when performed after Fajr, remain voluntary and not subject to Ada’ or Qada’, with the intention being Qurbatan ila Allah?

As obligatory Prayers have Adaa' when it is performed within its time, and Qadha; when it is performed after its time, recommended prayers also have Adaa' when it is performed within it's time, and Qadha when it is performed after it's time. Qurbatan ilallah is a condition in every worship, yet Adaa and Qadha should be in your intention.

Zakat . Qadha

Is there a concept of Qaza for Zakat? Does money remain Haram until Zakat is fulfilled?

All financial dues like Zakat and Khums must be paid as soon as possible even for those who did not pay it on its time. The responsibility is to pay all the unpaid dues as soon as you can.

Money remain mixed with Haraam until all dues are fully paid.

Qadha . Fajr . Time . Salah (Prayers) . Salatul Layl

Would it be more beneficial to prioritize completing my missed Qadha prayers over performing Salat al-Layl, considering that I currently make up for them by praying one Qadha Fajr Salah and another Qadha Salah daily?

The reward of performing Qadha Prayer is greater than performing recommended prayers. No doubt, performing both is much better, but if you have no other option but perform either Qadha or recommended prayer,b then Qadha is first because it is obligatory.

Ghusl . Qadha . Sin . Salah (Prayers) . Sawm (Fasting)

What are the consequences of engaging in unrepented sinful acts that require Ghusl? Is it mandatory to make up missed prayers and fasts? What should I do if I cannot recall the exact number?

When Ghusl is obligatory for any reason including sinful acts, it remains obligatory till Ghusl is been performed. All Prayers and fasts which were performed with out Ghusl must be made up as Qadha.

If you are not sure about the exact numbers of days or prayers , you must take the number which is confirmed and make it up. Making more days up is a precaution.

Qadha . Sawm (Fasting) . Dhuhr . Meaning . Ramadan

Can you explain this ruling in more detail, “A person who observes a Qadha for the fast of Ramadhan can break his fast before Zuhr”. Does this mean if I keep a Qadha fast, I can open my fast before Zuhr and it will still count?

Bismihi ta'ala

If you are doing qadha' for shahr Ramadhan fasting, you are allowed to terminate your fasting and break-off from it, anytime in the morning, until zawal, or salat dhuhr time.

You are not allowed to break your qadha' fasting anytime after dhuhr. If you do, there is a kaffarah.

This is different to Mustahab fast, where you can break your mustahab fast anytime, before dhuhr, or after dhuhr.

Qadha . Kaffara . Sawm (Fasting)

Is it necessary to observe Qadha fasts for the previously missed ones if Kaffarah has already been paid for them, or is the payment of Kaffarah enough?

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, you must still do the qadha' of the fasting days you missed out on, and kaffarah will not substitute that.

Salah (Prayers) . Jumu'ah . Qadha . Dhuhr

I prayed Friday prayers where there are more than one Friday prayers within one Farsakh because I did not know about the ruling that there has to be minimum distance. Do I need to perform Qada Zuhr for those Friday prayers?

If you performed Friday Prayer with the valid Friday Prayer that started their Takbiratul Ehraam before other Friday prayers in the radius of one Farrakhan, then your prayer is valid. If you started Takbiratul Ehraam after any other valid Friday Prayer then you need to perform Dhuhr or it's Qadha if it's time has gone.

If you are sure that you did miss an obligatory Prayer or an obligatory fasting, then you should make it up and Qadha. If you are not sure that you missed any obligatory Prayer or fasting, then it is not obligatory on you to keep Qadha.

Ramadan . Kaffara . Sawm (Fasting) . Qadha

If someone discovers years later that they unknowingly broke their fast during Ramadan, will they need to make up for the missed fasts and also pay the Kaffara?

1. Did he break his fast by doing an act which he thought it permissible during fasting then discovered later it invalidates fasting?

2. Was his ignorance avoidable or not avoidable?
3. Was he taught that that act is allowed during fasting then discovered that he was misinformed?

4. What is the invalidating act which he did unknowingly?

The answer to your question depends on these matters.
