Joining The Magrib Salaah Late
Question: If one joins the Magrib Jamaat Salaah late, what is the method of completing the missed Rakaats?
Answers: A person who missed Rakaats with the Jamaat is called a Masbuq. A masbuq will follow the Imam as per normal, except that in the last sitting, he will only reads at-Tahiyyat and then remain silent until the Imam makes Salaam. (The Masbuq will not read salawat and supplications.)
1) If the Masbuq missed one Rakaat, he will stand up after the Imam completes the Salaah, he will read Thanaa, Ta’awwuz, Tasmiya, Surah Fatiha and a Surah. After Ruku and Sajdah he will complete Salaah as normal.
2) If two Rakaat were missed, then - when the Masbuq stands up to complete the missed Rakaats, he will read Thanaa, Ta’awwuz, Tasmiya, Surah Fatiha, a Surah, then go into Ruku and Sajdah, then he will then sit in Qa’idah and read at-Tahiyyat, after which he will stand up, read Surah Fatiha and a Surah and complete Salaah as normal.
3) If all three Rakaats were missed, the Masbuq will stand up after the Imaam makes Salaam and perform Salaah as if he is starting it from beginning.
والمسبوق من سبقه الإمام بها أو ببعضها وهو منفرداً فيما يقضيه - حتى يثني ويتعوذ ويقرء ... ويقضي اول صلاته في حق قراءة -وآخرها في تشهد ، فمدرك ركعة من غير فجر يأتي بركعتين بفاتحة وسورة وتشهد بينهما ( رد المحتار ج٢ ص ٣٤٧)

Sunnah After Zawaal
Question: What is the status of performing 4 Rakaats immediately after Zawaal?
Answer: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Saa’ib Radiyallahu Anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam use to perform four Rakaats after Zawaal before the Dhuhr Salaah. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “This is a time when the doors to the heavens are open, therefore I would like that a good action of mine goes up (at this time)”. (Jamiut Tirmidhi- Kitabus Salaah)
Hence, it is Sunnah to perform four Rakaats after Zawaal before the Dhuhr Salaah. These four Rakaats are separate from the four Sunnatul Muakkadah before Dhuhr. These Sunnah are referred to as Sunnatuz Zawaal.

Paying Zakaat From The Estate
DAILY FIQH
Question: What is the ruling if a person passes away without discharging his Fardh Zakat?
Answer: If the deceased made a bequest, then the Zakaat will be discharged from up to one third of the deceased’s estate. However, if the deceased passed away without a bequest, then it will not be compulsory on the heirs to discharge the Zakaat from the estate.
Notwithstanding the above, if any of the heirs desire to voluntarily pay the Zakaat on behalf of the deceased, they may do so.

Extracting A Tooth While Fasting
Question: Will extracting a tooth break my fast?
Answer: Extracting a tooth in itself will not break the fast. However, while extracting the tooth there is a strong possibility that some substance, particle or water may go down the throat which would invalidate the fast. With regards to blood going down the throat, the fast will be invalidated if the amount of blood exceeds the amount of saliva or one can perceive the taste of blood. Keeping the above in mind, it therefore not advisable to extract a tooth while fasting.
