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.

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.

When combining prayers like Dhur and Asr, is it more preferable to pray them both at the Dhur time, closer to the Asr time, or somewhere in between?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is recommended to perform Dhuhr Prayer immediately after midday (Zawaal) with out any delay. After performing Dhuhr Prayer, performing ASR Prayer is optional between performing ASR after performing the Dhuhr Prayer or waiting till the shadow becomes two sevenths.

What is the order for performing the 4 extra Raka'at of Nafl prayers for Zuhr and Asr on Friday, and should we pray all of them before Zuhr?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

On Friday, 4 Rak'ats are added to the 16 Rak'ats of
the Zuhr and the Asr Nafilah, and it is preferable that all these
20 Rak'ats are offered before the Zuhr sets in.
