Day Questions

While doing the prostration in a prayer, is it prohibited or disliked (makrooh) to touch the elbow on the ground?

It is permissible and not disliked.

If one is not certain that he has obligatory fasts to make up but chooses to fast a few days with the intention that he is undertaking them in case he owes any missed days, and then breaks his fast in the afternoon. Is he obligated to pay a kaffara?

He can break the fast as long as he is not aware that he has obligatory fasts to make up.

If someone in his youth committed the sin of adultery and then repented and has thereafter not committed such sins, should he still expect punishment on the Day of Judgment?

Certain verses from the Quran and religious texts indicate that when a person sins and afterwards repents and regrets what he has done and decides to stop committing such a sin, then almighty Allah will not punish him.

Sometimes I get excessive headaches while fasting, and water is the only relief. If I drink water so as to relieve my headaches, is my fast valid, and is there a kaffara or any penalty

You may drink the water to relieve the pain if it causes hardship, but the fast will become invalid and will need to be made up later. However, there is no kaffara in such a situation.
