Q&A/Fatwas

The fajr time in England is very late I have intention to pray them however my father keeps Saying that I’m too young if thought I’m 16. I ask him to wake me up however he doesn’t and switches off the alarms I set out, and every time I confront him he says he was going to wake me up. Some of the times I was awake pretending to be asleep and he never tried to wake me. What to do?

After the prayers I prayed zuhr thinking that these prayers were invalid, is what I did wrong? Do I have to go to another masjid even if it’s far from home?
