Has Making up My Fajr Prayer after Praying My Zuhr Prayer Rendered My Zuhr Prayer Invalid?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Seekersguidance.org

Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam

Question: Assalamu alaykum,

I have sometimes missed the Fajr prayer and made it up AFTER praying Zuhr while I was supposed to pray it before Zuhr.I prayed this way approximately 30 times in the last years.

Are all my 30 Zhur prayers invalid?

Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.

All of your prayers would retrospectively be considered valid, and you do not need to make any of them up. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah/Imdad al-Fattah]

When should the order of the missed prayers be respected?

The basis is that a small number of missed prayers need to be made up in the correct order, as we learn from the sunna of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) when four prayers were missed at Khandaq. [See: Tirmidhi & others]

When not following the order of the missed prayers is excused?

But having “many” prayers in your dues is considered to be an excuse and a form of hardship– “many” being six prayers, or more than one day’s worth of prayers.

Hence, when you reached the sixth prayer time, excluding the invalid prayer [i.e. Zuhr], and without correcting any of the previous prayers, they are all retrospectively considered to be valid, and it is as if there was no order binding upon you to begin with.

And Allah alone gives success.

Question: How can I concentrate in my Salaah with my eyes open? Clarification of having pants below ankles DETAILS: Assalamualaikum Dear Mufti Sahib,   1)I know that you have to read Salaah with the eyes open, but it’s very distracting, therefore can I leave my eyes open just a little bit and try to make this blurry and blink them a lot to concentrate more? What is the consequence of leaving the eyes closed in Salaah, I heard that if one does this, his Hoor in Jannah will be blind?2) Is peelu Miswaak the best Miswaak or the olive Miswaak? 3) What is the best place to position the hands During Du’aa’; like at face level or shoulder level or hands high up? Should our palms be facing upwards? 4)I heard that it is HARAAM to keep the pants or shalwar below the ankles and that Muhammad (S) said whatever is below the ankles will be in Jahannum. My brother is saying that this Hadith only applies to people at that time or even now who used to keep their pants below the ankle for the sake of PRIDE. Does this mean that regular Muslims who don’t keep their pants above the ankles (not for pride) will not get punished for this sin? Pleas e clarify.5)Are all synthetic alcohols in products useable no matter where the source of the synthetic alcohol is derived? 6) Should we Only act on Sahih Hadith or act on even the weak Hadith too? 7.Can you please give me a detailed description of how the Angels Jibreel, Mikaeel, Israfeel, and Israel look like if there are any Ahaadith that speak of their appearance and characteristics. Jazakallah May Allah (S.W.T) reward u infinitely. Assalamualaikum.
