Is it permissible to say all Takbirs, the Samiallah, the Bihawlillah, and the Taslim aloud during Zuhr and Asr prayers? Additionally, can we recite the Bismillah aloud before Surah Fatiha and other Surahs in these prayers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Saying all the Takbir and other sayings in Zuhr and Asr aloud is permissible. Reciting the AlHamd and the other Sura should not be aloud in Zuhr and Asr. Reciting Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem aloud is recommended in Zuhr and Asr, while it is obligatory in Maghrib, Isha and Farr prayers.

While observing Kaffarah fasting for 60 days, if a person has plans that prevent them from fasting, such as traveling before Zuhr, are these valid excuses to skip certain days? Will this impact the completion of their Kaffarah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If he traveled during the fasting of sixty days of Kaffara, he must fast the days of the traveling immediately after the travel and continue fasting the remains days of the sixty. If he traveled  and did not compensate the days of the travel immediately and made a deliberate gap, he will then  need to restart the Kaffara fast again.

If I miss my Dhuhr and it is Asr time, should I sit for Dhikr after making up Dhuhr and then pray Asr, or do I do Dhikr after praying Asr. Does this apply for every missed prayer? Should I always do Dhikr after praying the current Salah if I missed one?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We must perform every obligatory Prayer on its time and never delay it till its time goes away. If you did not pray your Dhuhr Prayer, you must perform it before performing your ASR Prayer. Dhikr is highly recommended after every obligatory Prayer. Tasbeeh of Fatima (SA) is highly recommended after every Prayer and it is more beloved to Allah (SWT) than one thousand recommended Rak'ats, according to Hadeeth from Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (AS). Reciting Ayatul Kursi is also highly recommended after prayers.

Can you explain this ruling in more detail, “A person who observes a Qadha for the fast of Ramadhan can break his fast before Zuhr”. Does this mean if I keep a Qadha fast, I can open my fast before Zuhr and it will still count?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If you are doing qadha' for shahr Ramadhan fasting, you are allowed to terminate your fasting and break-off from it, anytime in the morning, until zawal, or salat dhuhr time. 

You are not allowed to break your qadha' fasting anytime after dhuhr. If you do, there is a kaffarah. 

This is different to Mustahab fast, where you can break your mustahab fast anytime, before dhuhr, or after dhuhr. 

And Allah knows best
