Question:
As salamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabaraktuh,
1) Can we pray in a moving car?
2) If we break an optional fast, do we have to make up for it, and can we break an optional fast if we want to?

4) Is it better to pray sunna and nafl prayers at home and only fard prayers in the mosque?
Answer:
Wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
I pray you are well.
Can We Pray in a Moving Car?
One can pray sunna and voluntary prayers sitting in a moving car if one is outside of a town or city. Otherwise, you would have to get out and pray. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]
Do I Have To Make Up a Voluntary Fast I Broke?
Yes, if you break a voluntary fast, you would have to make it up. The intention would have to be made at night.
One can break a voluntary fast at the insistence of a friend roughly an hour and a half before zuhr and up until ‘Asr time at the insistence of one’s parents. Another position of the Hanafi school permits this even without a reason up until the former time. [Ibid]
Can I Wear and Sell Fake Eyelashes?
Yes, it is permissible to wear and sell fake eyelashes. You should, however, be conscious of them affecting the validity of your wudu. Also, anything made from pig or human hair is impermissible. [al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya]
Is It Better To Pray the Non–Fard Prayers at Home?
Yes, it is superior for men to pray the fard at the mosque and the rest of the prayers at home. This also acts as an encouragement for other family members. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]
May Allah grant you the best of both worlds.
