The exceptional circumstances


Dr. Muhammad Hedayetullah, a scholar of comparative religions, in his book Dynamics of Islam (2006), emphasizes that although Salah is mandatory, flexibility in details is allowed depending on the circumstances: for example, in the case of Illness or lack of a space, a worshiper may offer salah while sitting or even lying down, and prayer may be reduced when traveling. The Salah must be done in the Arabic language.
Qada
 In certain circumstances one may be unable to perform one's prayer within the prescribed period (waqt). In this case, the prayer must be performed as soon as one is able to do it. These prayers made after the prescribed waqt is called qada. It is not permissible to overlook deliberately performing salat on your waqt with the intention of carrying out afterwards. Hazrat Yabir narrates that Muhammad said: "The distinguishing factor between disbelief and Imaan is the deliberate oblivion of Salat" (Muslim). It is preferable to read the Qada salat in the order that was lost. that is, if you missed the two Zohr and Asr, when you read this qada prayer, you should read the Zohr before the ASR qada. However, this is not a Fardh act, it's just that you prefer.
