I am a born Muslim who has only recently started practicing at the age of 30. Do I need to perform Qada for all those missed prayers over the years?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes. As you were born as a Muslim from Muslim parents, you must perform what you missed from the obligatory worship. You can perform the Qadha gradually as much as you can.

I missed fasts for some months during my youth and then I have become sick and therefore not been able to make up those missed fasts. What if I am never able to do those Qaza fasts? What can I do instead?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Qaza fast is obligatory on you as soon as you can. If you become permanently ill and never able to fast, then you need to feed for every day a poor believer which is called Fidya. That is for the days missed while you are ill. For the days which you missed during your youth with out illness, you need to feed sixty poor believers for every day of missed fast.

Wassalam.
Is it better to prioritize Qaza prayers and perform them instead of other Mustahab acts?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No doubt that performing Qaza prayers is obligatory and more important than recommended prayers. The reward for Qaza prayers is more than recommended prayers.

Can a vet do Wudhu and pray on time while being in a state of impurity due to handling of dogs or does he have to wait to get back home and bathe and pray all the Qadha namaz together?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Touching any Najis item including dogs or its urine etc does need Ghusl at all. You need to wash the part which touched the Najis item with water, then perform Wudhu and pray. It is a sinful act to delay performing the Prayer till it's time goes. Performing the Qadha namaz will not omit the sin of not praying within the time of the prayer.

You must perform your Namaz within its time under any circumstance.

Wassalam.
