When praying salah individually, what is the ruling on uttering the ayah 'Bismillahirahman....' before reciting surah fatihah in Qiyaam? (excluding the first rakat)
Answer: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah
The Basmallah is from the Sunnah attributes of prayer and as such would not entail a worldly consequence if left out. Leaving out a Sunnah will however, entail an other-worldly consequence in terms of deeds that one will so desperately need in the hereafter. It is important to include all Sunnah’s to beautify and give the prayer its due right.
May Allah give you success.

I once missed the time of salah and did not pray. When I was making up for it afterwards I was in formed not to read sunnah, Witr or Nafl because it was too late. Is this true? (need proof please) Jazaakumullah, may allah give you success.
Answer: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
If a prayer has been missed then it needs to be made up before the time of the next prayer if less than five have been missed in a row. If one missed a whole days prayer then it is not obligatory to make them up before commencing the due prayer. It is still obligatory to make up the missed prayers in one's lifetime.
The easiest way to make up missed prayers if one has years to make up, is to leave out the non sunnah muakidah and nafl prayers and pray Qadha prayers instead. Once they have been made up one can resume nafl prayers again.
May Allah give you success.
