We have in some books that some of the companions of Easa (AS) were not grateful to the bounty of Allah Who Sent to them a table of food from the sky for them. Sura Al-Ma'idah, verse 115 mentioned: Allah Said: I am going to send it down unto you, but if any one of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment which I have not inflicted on anyone among all the mankind).

Wassalam.

Ihram . Medina . Travel . Isha . Makkah . Umrah

Is it permissible to wear Ihram from Masjid al-Shajara in Medina and travel by closed vehicles to Mecca after Isha prayer, if I am following the taqlid of Ayatollah Khoei?

According to the verdict of Ayatullah Sistani, it is not permissible for man during Ihraam to travel in a covered vehicle. If he had no choice but to do that, he has to pay Kaffara which is slaughtering a sheep or a goat and distributing it among poor believers.

Should I leave out the recommended acts during my Salah if my family rushes through Maghrib and Isha prayers during Iftar and scolds me for taking longer while I don't want to rush my prayers?

If some one is waiting for you to join them in Iftaar, it is recommended to join them, then perform Salah. Joining persons who are waiting for you is more important than recommended acts un Salah.

Asr . Isha . Salah (Prayers)

If we want to pray Awwal Waqt prayers and also each one separately, when should we pray Asr and Isha prayers?

Asr Prayer’s time starts immediately after completing Dhuhr Prayers, but if you want to separate between Dhuhr and Asr, then when the shadow of an item reaches two sevenths of it.
Isha prayer can be performed after performing Maghrib Prayer and it’s Nawafil but if you want to separate between Maghrib and Ish, then after the end of reddishness on the west.

Are my Fajr, Maghrib, Isha salah valid and Adhan or Iqamah valid if I recite them all in a low clear voice which I can clearly hear but others in different rooms may not?

It is obligatory on Muslim male to recite Sura Al-Hamd and another Sura in clear voice in Fajr, Maghrib and Isha Prayers. Clear voice does not making others hear you, but it means that you voice is clear even if it is low but can be heard by those who are just near you.

Isha . Sawm (Fasting)

Can I take one meal a day, a kind of intermittent fasting, if I decide to do that one meal after Isha? Is there any ruling on not skipping breakfast?

Fasting in Islam has got a clear procedure in Quran and authentic Hadeeth. We need to follow it and not create or follow another fasting.

You need to consult you doctors whether have just one meal in 24 hours is not harmful for your health.

It is allowed to have one mail meal if you are not fasting but don't harm your health or cause dehydration.

I advise you to fast, so that you will get the spiritual and health benefits as well as reward of fasting.

Bismihi ta'ala

As you know, for us Muslims, prayer takes priority over absolutely everything. We plan our lives and our daily routine around prayer. We select our form of lifestyle and work based on how we can excel in our faith and get closer to God.

Prayer, which is the most effective way to do this, must of course be done in its perfect form, and within its allocated time.

Anything that becomes an obstacle for that, we must eliminate, even if it means loss of money or changing of work opportunity.

In any job description, you are able to see if you can meet their requirements and also your religious requirements. If they do not give you any breaks, even toilet breaks, then in today's world that would be illegal and inhumane.

I am sure you are able to find a few minutes, during your break, to perform your prayers, quickly, and get back to work.

If under no circumstance are you able to take a break, or pray within the shar'i timeframe of the salat, then have trust in Allah ta'ala, who is the Razzaq, and pursue other work opportunities that would suit your Islamic values and human rights as well.

With prayers for your success.

Isha . Salah (Prayers)

What is the Islamic ruling if I realized, after completing the prayer, that I did 5 Rakat instead of 4 in Isha prayer?

If you are sure that you prayed five Rak'ats, then you must repeat the Prayer, but if you have doubt, after you have completed the prayer, then this doubt has no value and your prayer is valid.

Maghrib . Isha . Qadha . Salah (Prayers)

What time does Maghrib and Isha prayers become Qadha?

Bismihi ta'ala

The end of the time for Maghrib and 'Isha is the middle of the night in the case of the delay being voluntary.

Middle of the night here means the middle between ghurub of the sun and Fajr time. This means it would depend on location and time of the year.

If the delay is not voluntary, and one has an excuse, like ending menstrual cycle after the middle of the night, or sleeping, or unconscious, then the time would extend until before Fajr.

Please refer to your Marja' taqleed for details.

And Allah knows best.
