Masbooq and Laahiq

Walking in front of a masbooq

Q: In a small Masjid, the Imam used a sutrah while leading the jamaat (it is a common practice in some places to do second or third jamaat if the main jamaat is missed). Is it permissible to pass in front of people who missed their rakaat with the Imam in these second/third jamaat are completing their prayers. Will they still be considered to be behind sutrah even if Imam has completed his own Prayer?

Imaam moving forward when a second person joins the jamaat

Q: I was leading salaah with one muqtadi, who was standing 1 foot behind me, when a second muqtadi joined the prayer. However, the muqtadis did not move back 1 saff, so I dragged my feet and moved 1 saff forward. However, I dragged my feet 4 times to reach my place.

1. Is the salaah valid?

2. Is it necessary for the imaam to move forward if the muqtadis don't move back?

3. Is it necessary for the muqtadis to move behind?

Remaining silent behind the Imaam

Q: I have a question regarding joining the jamaat for salah late. What is the ruling regarding the situation if I join the jamaat while it was in qiyam. And soon after my joing the jamaat (after 2-3 secs) the Imam goes into ruku. I didn't get enough time to recite surah fatiha. Will I get that rakat as I couldn't recite the Fatiha or I need to repeat it by myself after tasleem of Imam?

Questions relating to a masbooq

Q: I have a few questions regarding a late comer joining salaah:

1.Is it important to recite sana once you standup to complete your prayer?

2. What if sana was recited when the person joined in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rakaat

3. Due to misunderstanding and following someone, if a person follows a different procedure to complete the missed rakaats in salaah for a couple of years and now he comes to know correct Hanafi procedure, will his passed salaahs be valid?

4. Is the below procedure correct as per Hanafi mazhab: If a person joins jamaat salaah and says salaam at the end of the 2nd rakaat and after salam he stands up and doesnt read sana and treats this rakat as the 4th rakaat. He only recites surah fatiha and completes his salah. Is his salaah valid or does he have to stand up recite sana, surah fatiha and a surah to complete his salah?
