Qiraat

Reciting behind the Imaam

Q: I require clarification on the following

1.During Dhuhr and Asr, when we say our Salaah in silence, must the Imam and the Musallis recite the Surah/Ayats in silence, each on their own or must the Imam alone recite the Surah/Ayats and the Musallis must keep quiet?

2.On Jumu’ah Day why is the Adhaan said twice instead of one as in the other days of the week?

Reciting a Surah in the third and fourth rakaat after Surah faatiha in the four rakaats sunnat of zuhr

Q: I just wanna ask about the sunnat-e-muakadah before fardh of zuhr. I should perform it with salaam at the end and now my question is on the third rakaat am I only going to recite fatiha and also in the forth rakaat just like praying fardh or I should recite another surah in the third rakaat and another surah in the last rakaat after faatiha?

Reciting behind the Imaam

Q:

1. I just want to ask in the zuhr and asr salaah when you are behind the Imam are you going to recite the surah fatiha and then after fatiha do I need to recite another surah? Or only the surah fatiha?

2. Another question of mine in magrib and isha salaah on the first and second rakaat after we say ameen behind the imam, do I need to repeat the surah
fatiha silently while the imam is reciting another surah? I follow Abu Hanifa.

Stopping one's recitation during the course of the discussion

Q: Respected Mufti, I stood behind in prayers where these verses were recited and on the second verse the Imaam would stop the surah and go into ruku. Is this allowed? If not, is this in violation on any of the etiquette of recitation of the Quran?
