Q: My question is about "taqlid after amaal".
If a Hanafi after salaah, finds out his salaah was not valid according to the Hanafi madhab, but it is valid according to for example Hanbali madhab, can he follow that madhab and suffice with salaah he has prayed?

Q: Eight years ago I fell in love with a girl. Her parents did not agree because of my financial state and forced her to marry someone else. She was 16 at that time. Durring that time I forgot about her ever coming back and put my self in a life of lonelyness. I kept praying to Allah Ta'ala for comfort of my heart. One night I prayed in tears to Allah about her. In the next two days I received her email asking about my well being out of no where. I continued talking to her in a decent manner and soon learnt she was not happy even after 8 years. She showed signs of seeking a divorce. I confirmed her intentions and offered my hand as if she now has the power to decide for her life. Accept me. She agreed. The Problem is she has a one year old daughter and to the fear of loosing her she decided not to seek divorce but feels the same about leaving her husband. I hang in the balance again with good intention of religiously marrying her and accepting her daughter as mine. I prayed a lot to Allah for comfort and solution but what happend why am I suffering the same thing again and last time it was easy to let go. This time
I feel there is hope and keep praying. Is it a test!? Because each time I pray and be a good muslim I get positive effects from her side. Now I am blank as if Allah has put me in a test again. Is it right of her to get subjected to something not in her will and because of the child not practice her right of khulah.
Q: I am a fellow muslim teenager here in Toronto, Canada. The problem is that a lot of pious and loving friends that I have (majority of them being Muslim) are starting to party for no various reasons and now they want to do it more! It is a shame because a lot of muslims I know, and it's tough to look at, have become one of these people. Recently, some students in my school just had a party exclusively for Grade 10 students. This party was without any adult authority from my school and before I knew it, some people actually turned to haram and drank alcohol and did drugs just like that. Even I got invited, but I just knew that this would happen. And if I were to ask anyone who went there that night, a majority of them would say, "They had fun." Now, one of my lifetime goals and lifetime deeds was to help people stay on the path to heaven within Allah Subhanawatua'la, I could see this as a test and opportunity to build up on my good deeds by the will of Allah. As a bystander of all this partying and what not, what would you do to encourage students to stay on the path to Jannah and what do you think of this in general?
Q: Bahishti Zewar chapter about the Jumu’ah and Eid Salaah: "To offer jumu'ah salaat openly and with full permission. It will not be permissible to offer jumu'ah salaat in any private and secluded place. If jumu'ah salaat is offered at such a place where the general public is not allowed to come or the doors of the musjid are closed at the time of jumu'ah, the salaat will not be valid."
Can we offer the jumuah salaat in a place other than a musjid?

Q: In the Hanafi madhab, if you remain silent (during prayer) for a time period where one can recite "Subhan Allah" 3 times, then it becomes waajib for the person to perform Sajdah Sahw. If, however, the individual did not perform Sajdah Sahw, does he then have to repeat his prayer? What if, in the past, the person did not pay attention to this fact during his prayer, and he now has several prayers where he was required to perform Sajdah Sahw, but he did not do so. Does he have to repeat all those prayers?
