Upon Who Is Zakaat Obligatory
Question: Upon whom is Zakaat compulsory?
Answer: When a mature and sane Muslim acquires wealth which is Zakaatable and - after deducting liabilities - it equals to the amount of Nisaab (R4225.28 i.e. 612.36 grams of Silver) and the wealth remains with him for an entire lunar year (even though it increased or decreased during the course of the year provided it is not used up completely), then on the same lunar date of the following year, zakaat will be waajib on that wealth. The amount payable is 2.5%.
الزكوة واجبة علي الحر المسلم البالغ العاقل إذا ملك
نصابا كاملا ملكا تاما وحال عليه الحول - الهدايية ج١/٩٥

Two Rakaats After Witr: Sitting or Standing?
Question: Is better to to sit and make the two Rakaats Nafl after Witr?
Answer: There are two opinions in this matter: The first options is that it is better to sit and perform these two Rakaats and the second opinion is that it is better to stand and perform these two Rakaats.
Both opinions are correct. However, it is preferred that a person stands and observes this Salaah as the reward for Salaah while sitting will be half the reward of Salaah that is observed while standing. [Fatawaa Mahmoodiya V 7 P 225]
انه صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يصلي بعد الوتر قاعدً ... ولكن له : اَي للمتنفل نصف اجر القاءم ( مراقى الفلاح ص ٤٠٣)

Qadha of Tahajjud Salaah
Question: Can one make Qadha, if one missed the Tahajjud Salaah?
Answer:Yes one can make amends by performing twelve Rakaats in the time between sunrise and Zawaal.
عمر بن الخطاب -رضي الله عنه- قال: قال رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-: ((من نام عن حزبه أو عن شيء منه، فقرأه فيما بين صلاة الفجر وصلاة الظهر كتب له كأنما قرأه من الليل) رواه ابو دَاوُدَ ج١ ص١٨٦
It is narrated from Sayyidina Umar R.A. that The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: "Whoever sleeps past his full portion [of the late-night prayers] or part of them, he should perform it between Salatul Fajr and Salatul Zhuhr and it would be recorded for him as if he had performed it during the night."Abu Dawood.
