When to make up all the missed obligatory prayers

Prayer [صلاة], Fatwa, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen 9 February 2016 Abu 'Abdullaah

He [was] ill and underwent surgery, and [during this time] he missed a number of obligatory prayers; so should he pray them all together once he is better, or should he pray each obligatory prayer at its time, such as ‘asr at the time of ‘asr, and zhuhr at the time of zhuhr, and maghrib at the time of maghrib…and so on?

Praying behind an imaam who is an innovator

Shaykh ‘Abdul-’Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh, Prayer [صلاة], Fatwa 22 January 2016 Abu 'Abdullaah

A traveller praying with local residents

Prayer [صلاة], Fatwa, Shaykh Saalih al-Luhaydaan 4 January 2016 Abu 'Abdullaah

[Considering he is a traveller, should he suffice with just praying these two rak’ahs with them or] should he complete the prayer [by praying all four rak’ahs]?

Praying the sunnah prayer whilst sitting down

Prayer [صلاة], Fatwa, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen 2 January 2016 Abu 'Abdullaah

I have noticed many [Muslims] from India praying the sunnah [units of prayer] whilst sitting down – despite their good health [and ability to do so standing]. So is praying the sunnah prayer whilst standing better than praying it whilst sitting down for the one who is in good health?
