Conditions of Salah, Prayer Times and Qiblah

Before salah, check purification from hadath and najasah, proper covering, the entry of prayer time, orientation to qiblah and intention. These are prerequisites, not interchangeable steps. A prayer offered deliberately before its valid time cannot be made valid by sincere intention alone; students should consult reliable local timetables and knowledgeable teachers.

Learn each ruling in three steps: what we must do, when the rule applies, and what changes if we make a mistake. In Hanafi fiqh, fard, wajib and sunnah are different levels, so do not treat them as the same. A rule may also have conditions or exceptions. Look at the Qur'anic verse and the hadith, then see how Hanafi scholars explain the ruling. When solving a real problem, find out the facts first. Do not guess a legal answer from one short example. If you are unsure, ask a qualified teacher.
