Salah (Prayers)

Salah ("worship", ‏صلاة‎; pl. ‏صلوات‎ ṣalawāt; also salat), or namāz (Persian: نَماز‎) in some languages, is one of the Five Pillars in the faith of Islam and an obligatory religious duty for every Muslim (Male & Female, with certain exemptions based on Taqwa). It is a physical, mental, and spiritual act of worship that is observed five times every day at prescribed times.

If the parents are Muslims, they should not prevent their children from performing obligatory worship, but if they try to do that for any reason, you must perform your obligatory worship at any cost. If Muslim parents object on recommended worship, you have then to consider not to hurt their feelings and not to make them feel disrespected, specially when their objection on the recommended acts is based on their fear on you or care for you because of their thinking that certain recommended worship can affect your health such as recommended fasting. You should do your best to keep the respect of your parents and avoid any act which might cause them feeling disrespected.

If the parents are non Muslims and try to stop you from your Islamic duties, you are then not obliged to listen to them as no one is entitled to stop us from our obligatory duties.
In anyway you should always keep the respect of our parents even if they are non Muslims. In Quran Allah says in Surah Luqman, verse 15 [But if ( Your parents) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have knowledge, then don't obey them; but behave with them in this world kindly]

Wassalaam

Imam Ali (A.S.) led the funeral prayer of the Prophet Muhammad Peace and Salutation Upon Him and His Progeny. It is to be noted that many famous persons did not attend the funeral of the Prophet because they were busy in the conspiracy of Saqeefah which was been done by the opponents of Imam Ali (A.S.) who was busy in the funeral while Saqeefah group wanted to grab away his rights in leading the Ummah which was repeatedly declared by the Prophet (Peace and Salutation be Upon Him and His Holy Progeny).

Acrylic nails are considered as zeenah, and therefore haram to wear in public. Furthermore, it would prevent water from getting to her skin/nails, which would invalidate her wudhu' and ghusl.

Should she avoid these situations, like not show it in front of non-mahram, and put it on after wudhu', her prayer will be valid. 

And Allah knows best

If performing Ghusl is not possible, then Tayammum is obligatory instead of Ghusl. After performing Tayammum when Ghusl is not possible, all the worships like Salaah will be valid.

Followers of Umar have removed every evidence which proves that folding hands was ordered by him and claimed that it was done by the Prophet but they failed in presenting any authentic Hadeeth to support their claim. Muslims of Madina used to pray without folding their hands. Malik bin Anas the founder of Sunni Maliki sect clearly mentioned that the Salaah should be with opening hands and not folding them.The narration in Bukhari on this subject is from Sahl ibn Sa'd never said that the Prophet ever folded his hands in Salaah but states that people were been ordered to fold their hands. The narration was made after the order of Umar to fold hands in Salaah. 

No one knows the real Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWS) more than Ameerul Mo'mineen Ali (AS) who was against folding the hands and clearly ordering Muslims not to fold their hands in Salaah because it is a practise of the Zoroastrian and Jews.Wassalam

Not ever mistake invalidates the Prayer. It depends on the nature of the mistake. For example if your Wuzu was invalid then the Salaah is invalid or if you miss any basic obligatory acts like Niyyat, Takbeeratul Ehraam, Qiyam, Rokoo' or Sojood then Salaah is invalid. You can write clearly what was the mistake then the answer will come accordingly.Wassalam

If you did not know that masturbation invalidates the fast and you committed masturbation during the days of the month of Ramadan there is no Kaffara on you but Qadha of the fast of that day. If you did not know that Ghusl of Janabah is compulsory for a valid fasting you need to keep Qadha (Qaza) for every day of fasting which you are sure that you were in the state of janabat. Wassalam.

1. Not all Jinns are bad but there are among Jinns believers as well as non believers as we read in Quran :( There are among us some righteous and some contrary, we are groups having different ways). Sura Al-Jinn, verse 11.

2. Shaytan (Satan) does not like us obeying Allah, but he can not freely harm us just because of our worshiping Allah as far as we seek help and protection from Allah (SWT). Ahlul Bayt (AS) and their families were the most devout servants of Allah (SWT) ,yet Shayan could not harm them.

3. Sleep disturbance might have different reasons but we have in the authentic narrations guidelines for avoiding disturbance like: 1. Performing Wudhu before going to bed. 2. Reciting Ayatul Kursi and Sura Falaq and Sura Naas before sleeping.

3. Reciting Tasdeeq of Fatimah (AS) before sleeping.

4. Reciting Estighfaar and Salawaat.

5. Reciting يفعل الله ما يشاء بقدرته ويُحكِم ما يريد بعزَّته

YAF'ALOLLAH MAA YASHAA BIQODRATIH WA YUHKIMU MAA YUREEDU BI'IZZATIH.
