pray asr pray at prohibited times and question about tarawih

Heres an authentic hadith:

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "Which act is the best?'' He (PBUH) said, "As-Salat at their fixed times.'' I asked, "What next?'' He (PBUH) said, "Being dutiful to parents.'' I asked, "What next?'' He (PBUH) said, "Striving (Jihad) in the way of Allah.''

You are allowed to shalaah asr few minutes before maghreeb time, because it is better than don't shalaah. But if you have a time for shalaah asr in fixed time you must shalaah soon after adhan asr. Shalaah in the last time is 'makrooh' except in the case of emergency. Or if you predict you have no time for shalaah asr you can jama your shalaah asr in duhr time.

2_ can we read tarawih in section say 6 rakah first then rest for 10 mins then read another 4 rakah then rest for 10 mins etc what about in normal circumstance when ur healthy and what about when yuou r recoverin from an illness

jazak-allah khair

6 rakah ?. Maximum rakah is 4.
In 11 rakah tarawih, you can shalaah tarawih 4 then 4 rakah, then continue with 3 rakah of witr. Or you can shalaah tarawih in 2,2,2,2 rakah and 3 witr. But I notice some people shalaah tarawih in 2,2,2,2,2 rakah and 1 witr.
You can take a rest or say/listen to khutbah in the middle of tarawih. Or you can shalaah tarawih without rest/pause.
When you are recoverin from illnes you can shalaah tarawih while sit or even while lie down.
