Jamaat Salaah and Imaamat

Correcting the Imaam in fardh Salaah

Q: What is the correct procedure when a Hanafi imam makes mistakes or gets stuck during qiraat of the fardh salaah? It occurs often with our imam reciting his weak portions in our fardh salaahs with many times him repeating the same aayat 6/7 times as he cannot continue. Are we allowed to correct? Or should he proceed into ruku? Even if someone does correct he tends to need the same lukhmah a few times before continuing.

Children standing next to their fathers in the saff during salaah

Q: I wanted to ask the mas'alah regarding children standing in saffs with the men. I always knew that small boys should stand behind the saffs of the men. However, I have noticed a trend of small boys standing next to their fathers.

It just worries me and I am inconvenienced at these small boys standing beside me in the saff. Please advise and guide as to what is correct according to Shariah.

Joining a second jamaat in the masjid

Q: As you are aware, in Gulf countries, in the Masjid after the main congregation is over, there are many second and third small congregation/jamaat prayers going on in the masjid with 5 people or 6 people or 10 people ,and so forth. As far as I know, in Hanafi Fiqh, it is not considered okay to make second jamaat in the masjid. As a Hanafi, what should a tourist visiting a Gulf country or a resident of a Gulf country do if he misses the main congregation and he sees the second smaller congregations of a handful people going on? Should he join it or should he pray the fardh separately?
