Day Questions

Is Zakat-ul-Fitra obligatory on someone whose income can meet his annual needs?

Yes, Zakat-ul-Fitra is not obligatory on those whose income cannot meet his annual expenses

When performing daily obligatory prayers, is it preferable to join them, or to leave a lapse of time between each, e.g. an hour between Dhuhr and Asr, 15 minutes between Maghrib and Isha?

It is better to offer the prayer at their prime time, the best times to offer them. The prime time of the Dhuhr prayer is till the length of the shadow of an object reaches two-sevenths of the length of the object itself. The prime time of the Asr prayer is from the prime time of the Dhuhr prayer till the length of the shadow reaches four-sevenths of the object. The prime time of the Maghrib prayer is from the sunset till the disappearance of the redness from the western horizon. The prime time to offer the Isha prayer is from that time till the third of the night.
