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)

Q: I have a retirement fund called 401K where I contribute certain amount of money every bi-week and the employer matches certain percentage.

Q: I have a question regarding some money left unused post event. At a college function I and my class mates were organisers and we collected money from mates and juniors. The intention was clear that all money should be used, but some amount has been not used. So now who is the shari'ee owner of that money? Is it permissible for me to take back money which I had given for the event? My mates have an excuse that we were helping physically and fancially? Not the others. Do organisers have the right to take the money only what they have given or whole amount? If not what is the shar'ee hukum?

(a) Is it permissible to organise a second Jum'ah Jamat in the same Masjid where one Jum'ah Salaah has already taken place?

(b) If not, please explain why?

(c) If this is not permissible, are there any alternative solutions or should one ensure that, come what may, they attend the Jum'ah Salah which takes place at the standard time?
