Issue No. 1288- If the event, which makes āyāt Prayer obligatory, occurs several times, one should offer āyāt Prayer for each one of them. For example, if an earthquake takes place a number of times, or a solar eclipse and an earthquake occur at the same time, one should offer separate āyāt Prayers for each of them. However, if these occurrences take place while a person is offering āyāt Prayer, one āyāt prayer will suffice.

Issue No. 1296- If the āyāt Prayer becomes obligatory on a person at the time of a daily prayer, in case he has sufficient time for both the prayers, either of them offered first will be correct.

Issue No. 1297- If one realises during the daily prayer that the time for both āyāt Prayer and daily prayer is short, he should complete the daily prayer first, and then offer the āyāt prayer. In case the time of the daily prayer is not short, he should break it and first offer the āyāt Prayer and then offer the daily prayer. However if a person, while offering āyāt Prayer, realises that the time for daily prayer is short, he should leave the āyāt Prayer and start offering the daily prayer, then after completing the daily prayer and before performing any act which invalidates the prayer, he should continue offering āyāt Prayer from the same point where he abandoned it.
