Day Questions

If while fasting I recite a famous supplication or ziyara regarding which I am not certain of its authenticity, or while reciting it I have a bit of doubt concerning if some of the things I am saying is true, does this break my fast? Also, if while reading Quran or supplication or ziyara I make a mistake such that I accidentally say something incorrect about Almighty Allah, the Prophet or the Imams (peace be upon them all), does this break my fast?

Fasting is not broken by such acts.

My mother has Qadha fasts to make up, maybe around 20 years. For those that she missed on purpose, how can she make them up? For those that she missed because she is sick, how will she make them up? And if she cannot make them up now because she is sick or it causes her difficulty, how could she make them up?

She should make up the purposefully missed fasts, in addition to paying the kaffara for each day missed on purpose. She also should make up for the days that she missed when she was sick before the next Ramadan. If she did not make up for them before the next Ramadan when she could have done so then she should make up for those days as well as pay the fidya for each day. An amount of 900 grams of dates, wheat, floor, rice, lentils and the like for every missed fast must be given to the needy people as fidya for each day. If she could not make up the missed fasts, she should put in her will that someone should make up for the missed fasts after her death.

Is it allowed to eat food prepared by a non-Muslim who is not from Ahl al-Kitab [for example, a Hindu or a Buddhist]?

It is not permissible to consume meat presented by them, unless it was slaughtered according to the Islamic laws, which can be known if the meat is purchased from a Muslim market. It is also permissible to consume food prepared by them if it does not contain any meat product.

How many Rak'as is the recommended (Nafilah) prayer for Isha? Does it make a difference if we pray sitting or standing? I heard that two Rak'as sitting is equal to one Rak'ah standing.

It is a two-Rak'ah prayer, to be offered sitting.
