Forbidden prayer times are: 1- From dawn until the sun has risen to the height of a spear; 2- When it is directly overhead at noon until it has passed its zenith; and 3- From ‘Asr prayer until the sun has set completely.

Clipping the nails is Sunnah, and it is recommended to start with the right hand, then the left, then the right foot then the left.

Shortening the prayers is a confirmed Sunnah for all travellers, whereas joining the prayers is permissible but is not Sunnah, but it may be Sunnah and recommended if there is some difficulty involved in not doing it.

After relieving oneself, it is obligatory to remove impurity, whether it is removed with water or something else, such as stones or paper or tissues, but using water is best.
