Prayer

If it was exposed for a short period of time involuntarily, her payer is valid but she must take her precautions next time to ensure this doesn’t happen again

Is there any sunnah prayer before salat al-Jumu’ah? except for the 2 rakah when entering the Masjid. If it is not a sunnah, what should I then do if I am in a masjid, where everybody else do it?

There is no prescribed Sunnah prayer before Jum’ah

I had a discussion with a woman. I told her that there is no excuse for a person for not praying a prayer on time except oversleeping and forgetfulness(and may be other personal special fatwas, like a surgeon). She said I cannot as a women when driving home from work stop at a gas station and pray outside. I said you have to if you know that if you don’t stop before home, you will miss the time of prayer. The real issue here I think is that she is a women. Can a women pray outside where non-mahram can see her or should she pray inside her car or wait till she get’s home? Is there any excuse to miss the prayer time?

She should pray outside standing even if she prays by the side of the road.

I am an unmarried female aged 31. I have committed a large number of sins during this short span of my life. I am offering Tahajjud Prayers for the last four months. But recently someone told me to consult a scholar/ Mufti to know if I can offer these special prayers? Pease let me know if I cn offer Tahajjud Prayer & stand before Almighty ALLAAH SWT to seek Magfirah or shud I stop offering?

Of course you can and you should. No one is prevented from seeking forgiveness from Allah the almighty. Keep on knocking and you will be forgiven.

After the tashahud and salawat-e-Ibrahim in the final tashahud, is there evidence to say RABBI JA’ALNI MUQI MASAALATA WA MIN DHUIRIYATI RABBANA WA TAQABUL DUA (dua til the end), before other dua and salam?

No, there isn’t.

How important are the two rakah sunnah of fajr salah? If a person sometimes skips them, is he sinful?

Prayer

He is not sinful. He has left great reward.

There appear to be two methods of calculating Fajr timings, one being the One-Seventh of the Night method and the other being Angle-based method. I live in England and there are drastic differences for beginning of Fajr because of these methods. The one-seventh method says fajr starts at 4am while the angle-based method says it starts at 2am. Please advise what I should do as softwares are being contradictory!
