i was born a Muslim, but i have recently started practising, and started to pray on time. To my disbelief i have uncovered that depending on which school of teaching you conform to, the timing of each prayer changes. If for example if I go now to pray Asr prayer, I check the laptop and there are 4 respectable/trustworth sites All Stating Different times? What should i do :(

My mum has some mild psychiatric condition that makes it difficult for her to focus in her salat. She would sometimes talk to herself or forget the correct sequence. Now she has aged and she has to pray sitting on a chair. I’ve tried leading the prayer and asked her to follow but it didn’t help. After I finish my salat can I repeat salat sitting down to lead her?
