Answer
1. There is no alternative to replace the Salaat. One has to perform it even
if one is confined to the bed. One will be punished in Jahannam for 80 years
where each day equal 1000 years of this world. (Fadhail-e-Aamaal). Such a
person will be forgiven if he repents and fulfils all the missed Salaats. He
must also fulfil all current Salaats on time.
2. Is it necessary to throw yourself into the fire? Stay away from such an
environment, study via correspondence.
