What is a person to do if they are in doubt about the amount, types, and dates of qadha Prayers they have from the past?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If one does not know the exact type and number of missed (qadha) Salah, then one should apply one’s mind and make an honest estimation of the missed faraz and witar Salahs and make up for them. It is advisable to make an over estimate to be sure. One doesn’t need to know the dates of qadah Salah. The intention should be of for example first qadah Salah of Fajar. Once the Fajar has been performed, the next Fajar will be the first qadah of Fajar. The same procedure should be done for all missed Salahs respectively.[1]

  can you please provide clarification on the below, I have my haircut with scissors all over, however to make it presentable the hairdresser blends the top of my hair with the side of my hair with scissors , it is longer at the top and shorter on the sides and back but there is no visible line to make this noticeable and is not a (short back and side), although it is more than 2 lengths, i have had this haircut all my life and have not copied any celebrity just something that suits my head, and really i do not look like a thug or any of the sort it just looks presentable.  1.      Qaza’ is impermissible because of the following Hadīth:   عَنْعُمَرَبْنِنَافِعٍ،عَنْنَافِعٍ،عَنِابْنِعُمَرَقَالَ: نَهَىرَسُولُاللَّهِصَلَّىاللهُعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَعَنِالْقَزَعِ . قَالَ: وَمَاالْقَزَعُ؟قَالَ: أَنْيُحْلَقَمِنْرَأْسِالصَّبِيِّمَكَانٌوَيُتْرَكَمَكَانٌ[iv]   Translation: Umar bin Nāfi’ that Nāfi’ narrates that Ibn Umar radhiallahuanhuma said: Rasulullahsallallahualaihiwasallam prohibited us from Qaza’. IbnNāfi’ enquired: what is Qaza’? He replied: “To shave one part of a child’s head and leave the remaining part unshaven.”   Some of the haircuts mentioned above fall under the ambit of Qaza’ such as the: crew cut, flattop, rattail and mowhawk (when part of the head is shaved).

I know you have said that it is not permissable for women to cut their hair. But is there actually any hadith that says that women cannot do such? I know it is not allowed for women to immitate men, which would mean women getting a boy cut. But if a women keeps it at a moderate length and it looks like a girl haircut, what is the harm in such?
