Issue No.706- As was said earlier, the nawāfil should be offered in two rak‘ats, except for Witr which is one rak‘at. And in case one wishes to perform Witr prayer while sitting, he should offer two prayers of one rak‘at each in the sitting posture.
Issue No.707- The ẓuhr nāfilah is offered before ẓuhr prayer. Its time is from the commencement of ẓuhr, up to the time when the shadow of the indicator equals 2⁄(7 )of its length. For example, if an indicator is seven spans long, and the shadow which appears after midday becomes more than 2 spans long, the time for ẓuhr nāfilah ends.
Issue No.711- The time for fajr nāfilah is before fajr prayer, from fajr adhān until the appearance of redness in the east. It can be offered immediately after the night prayer.
Issue No.716- It is not necessary that, while standing for prayer, one’s toes be facing the qiblah nor is it necessary for the knees to be facing the qiblah in the sitting posture. Insofar as one is said to be standing or sitting towards the qiblah, it would be sufficient.
Issue No.717- If a person cannot offer prayer in the sitting posture, he should lie on the right hand side in such a manner that the front part of the body would face the qiblah. And if that is not possible either, he should lie on the left hand side in such a manner that the front part of his body would face the qiblah. And if even that is not possible, he should lie on his back in such a manner, that the soles of his feet face the qiblah.
Issue No.718- Precautionary prayer, forgotten sajdah and forgotten tashahhud should be offered facing the qiblah, and on the basis of obligatory precaution, sajdah al-sahw should also be offered facing the qiblah.
Issue No.719- A recommended prayer can be offered while one is walking or riding, and if a person offers recommended prayer in such conditions, it is not necessary that he should be facing the qiblah.
Issue No.721- Ordinary compasses are among the good devices for determining the direction of the qiblah, if they work properly. The possibility that a qiblah compass causes is not less than the possibility gained by other means but rather, it is often more accurate.
Issue No.722- One can rely on the statement of the landlord or of the person in charge of a guesthouse or a hotel, etc., if he is not a heedless person in this regard.
Issue No.724- If a person has to offer prayer facing a few directions, and wants to offer two prayers like ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers or maghrib and ‘ishā’ prayers, it is better that he offers the first prayer facing those directions, and then begins the second one.
Issue No.734- If a person is nude and does not have anything with which to cover himself while offering prayer, and if it is probable that he may find something, the obligatory precaution is to delay performing the prayer. However, if he does not find anything, and if there are people who may see him, then he should offer his prayer in sitting posture and cover his private parts in this manner. And if there are no people seeing him, he should offer prayer in standing posture, and he should, as an obligatory precaution, cover his private parts with his hand, and perform rukū‘ and sajdah by indicating [1] and for sajdah, he should lower his head a little more.
Issue No.738- If the body or clothes becomes najis during the prayer or one realises that his body or clothes are najis but doubts whether they have become najis at that time, or were najis before prayer, then in case he has access to water and if washing the body or clothes or changing the clothes or taking them off does not disturb the performance of the prayer, he should wash his body or clothes while performing prayer, or change the clothes and continue the prayer. However, if that is not possible, he should break that prayer and offer prayer again with ṭāhir body and clothes. This is only in the case when he has enough time, otherwise he should offer his prayer in the same state and his prayer would be valid.
