Prayer time

Dear scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. I will be traveling and the flight will be for 17 hours. I will board the plane at the time of Zhuhr Prayer. Since I will be crossing over different time zones and the flight is very long, I am confused about exactly when I am supposed to pray. Do I simply go by the time of where I am leaving from? Or do I leave a certain amount of time between each combined/shortened prayer? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholars of Islam, As-Salamu `alaykum. Is the Fajr time only between the onset of dawn and before sunrise, or do we have to pray it while it is totally dark? I sometimes wake up late (before sunrise), but it has become clear outside. Am I making a mistake? Also, is Maghrib time from sunset to `Isha'? Or is it from sunset until it gets completely dark?

Dear respected Sheikh, We Muslims living in France face the problem of the short nights and the short difference between the times of `Isha’ and Fajr. Sometimes, there are only three hours or even less between them. Besides, the conditions of life and work here are hard. Consequently, such a short time between day and night causes us great suffering in determining the times of the Prayers. What do we do about this problem?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I was just wondering if you are allowed to perform a Prayer before its allotted time if you know that you will miss the allowed Prayer time, (d ue to a class at that time). Jazakum Allah khayran.

Respected scholars, As-Salamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatuh. I have problems regarding Fajr Prayer. Sometimes, I cannot get up to pray Fajr on time. Can you help me in this regard?

Scholars of Islam, As-Salamu `alaykum. Please shed light on the times of the five daily prayers as illustrated by the Sunnah. Jazkum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I have missed three prayers, do I have to pray them in the order in which they were missed? Or does the order not make any difference? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Aslamualaikum, My question is regarding the prayers. I m in Sweden for my studies,and the interval between the prayer timings is very small here.At this time we are offering our Duhr p rayer at 11:30 and Asar at 13:30, this interval will become even shorter later.and the free or break time from class for us is only from 12:00 to 13:00, in which we can offer our prayers. Can we offer the zuhr and asar prayer together? and can we offer Qaza of the magrib prayer because of having our class at maghrib's time?thanks

Can we delay the Magrib Prayer for 10 minutes?The gulf country in which I am working now recently changed the prayer time of Magrib. Till the end of April 2009 the prayer was after 5 minutes from the time of Adan in all mosques and now the prayer is after 10 minutes from the time of Adan. Why they are changing the time like that now? Are we allowed to make changes like that?

Dear scholars! I would like to know why some prayers are recited loudly (Jahri) such as Maghrib and `Isha while others are silent (Sirri) as is the case with Zuhr and `Asr? Is there any wisdom behind this?

i have observed that for four prayers viz. fajr, zuhr, asr,isha. reasonable time is given (15 to 30 minutes) after azaan for people to gather in the mosque for prayers. my question is related to the maghrib prayer. in some mosques, prayer is offered immediately in the mosque after azaan. kindly explain with proper reference as to how much time gap should be given between azaan and offering prayer (in the mosque).as far as i have the ubderstanding, the purpose of azaan is that people should gatherin the mosque for prayer and so a very reasonable time gap is given to the people to gather in the mosque, except for maghrib prayer. kindly throw light in this matter as i am a bit confused
