Salaah

Imaam breaking his wudhu in Salaah

Q: While leading the salaah, my wudhu broke. I was taught that it is best to break the salaah in this instance, due to the possibility of creating confusion. I therefore made one salaam and announced that my wudhu had broken while moving away. No one in the congregation stopped their salaah and the person behind me stepped forward to continue the salaah from the point that I stopped.

1. Was it correct for them to continue the salaah, as I had made one salaam (After my wudhu broke)?

2. Does the salaah have to be repeated? 

3. Can you explain any other  rulings that may help in such a  situation (does the Imam have to appoint someone, or does simply moving away suffice,
etc)

Witr Salaah in the Harams

Q: I am a follower of the Hanafi Mazhab. At the Haramain the Witr prayer during Ramadaan is conducted in Jamaah. At times they pray as 2 + 1 rakaats and sometimes as 3 rakaats. Also they raise their hands during Dua-e-Qunoot which during the night of Shab e Qadr and the night of Quran Khatam which is on 29th night of Ramadhan the Dua e Qunoot goes on for approximately half an hour.

Please advise in the circumstances narrated above:

(1)What type of Niyat should I make for Witr namaaz not being sure whether it is going to be 2 + 1 or 3 rakaats together?

(2) should I also raise the hands during Dua e Qunoot which we normally do not do in Hanafi Mazhab.

In the huge gathering it is practically difficult to move away and not participate in the Witr.

Doubts in Surah Faatiha

Q: In my 'Asr Salaah I recited a verse of Surah Faatihah and whilst reciting I thought I made a mistake, and thought I'd repeat that verse and I didn't
stop reciting until I finished the verse, and then I recited again, but during the verse in which I thought I made a mistake, I was like “Shouldn't I stop?" But I carried on until finishing that verse; now I wonder, does this count as a purpose addition in prayer by finishing the verse in which I thought to have made a mistake? And is my Salaah valid?
