(1) If one passes wind whilst making ghusl, does he have to start the ghusl all over again or just perform wudhu after ghusl or what?? (2) Is there any specific zikrs or duaas that i can read at the time when I am performing Tahajjud? (3) Is it better to perform your qadha salaats instead of performing nafl salaats such as ishraaq/chaaste and doin extra quraan tilawat, since the fulfillment of qadha salaats is fard?? Also when one is making qadha salaat, then what niyat is made??Is it just “I am performing qadha salaat of missed Fajr or Zohr or Asr” etc.
1. Passing wind while performing Ghusl does not invalidate the Ghusl. Passing wind invalidates Wudhu only.
2. You may recite any Dhikr or Du’aa in Tahajjud that is in the Qur’aan or Hadith.
3. You should give preference to fulfilling your Qadhaa Salaats as that is Fardh.
4. Refer below

Q: Kindly explain in detail the Shari?ah laws of performing Qadhaa Salaats. Your advice in fulfilling the Qadhaa Salaats will be appreciated.
A: Qadhaa is made only for Fardh and Witr Salaats.
In calculation, there will be six (6) Salaats per day, one hundred and eighty (180) Salaats per month, two thousand, one hundred and sixty (2160) Salaats per year. Calculate the number of missed Salaats from the time of Buloogh (maturity). If one is unable to calculate the actual number of missed Salaats, due to not having any records, then he/she should apply his/her honest discretion in calculating the missed Salaats.
It is not permissible to give Fidyah (monetary compensation) for the missed Salaats if one is able to fulfil the Qadhaa Salaats. The Fidya for each missed Salaat is the same as Sadaqatul Fitr (approx. R7.00). The approximate amount for the missed Salaats for one year will be (approx. R15,000). A bequest should be made during one’s lifetime to pay the Fidya for the unfulfilled Qadhaa Salaats from one third of one’s estate after fulfillment of debts.
Thank Allah Ta’ala for giving you the concern to fulfil the missed Salaats. How will one face Allah Ta’ala on the day of Qiyaamat should he/she pass away without fulfilling the Qadhaa Salaats? An easy method to fulfil the Qadhaa Salaats is, after each daily Fardh Salaat, for example, after Dhuhr Salaat of today, perform one Dhuhr Qadhaa Salaat.
