Salaam Sheikh, I have a question regarding kazah salah. It has been 5 years since i became baligh and i have only been praying my salah properly for the past 3 years. I would like to know whether i would need to pray the salah that i have missed in the 2 years that i didn’t pray. if i have to make up for my salah is there any proof from the Hadith, sunnah or Quran that backs it up. I have asked many Alimas and Alims this question and they have told me that i do need to read the 2 years of salah that i missed, but they did not have any proof. I only follow something if i have proof from the Quran or Sunnah so in sha allah i hope you can help me with this issue as soon as possible. Jazakallah Khair,

Assalamu alaikum Sheikh, sometimes i pray with my father or brother NOT IN JAMA’AH but side by side. is it permissible? As we know we have to be close to the sutrah(the wall in my case) and because i am smaller, i be a little ahead of my father (in the line we pray), is it right? there is not enough place to pray right behind him, so what should i do?
