Jamaat Salaah and Imaamat

Q: Can and imaam put on a short sleeve jubba to perform salaat in jama'ah?

Q: If a husband and wife read salaah together, where does the wife and daughter stand compared to the son?

Q: Can small children (non baaligh) stand at the end of the adult staff where an adult cannot stand due to musalla being small?

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.

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.

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?

Q: If you happen to pray behind an imaam without a beard or with a trimmed beard, the jamaat prayer will be beneficial. But the prayer is not fulfilled. So I heared for a bayaan that you pray the prayer personally.

This needs clarification. Because the imam who prays in our masjid has a habit of cutting his beard.

Q: If there are a few musjids in an area, which musjid will be the best to perform salaah in? The oldest musjid or the musjid with the most musallis?

Q: Is Namaz accepted behind an Imam who openly sins like goes to the cinema?

Q: I am living in Canada and perform salaah in a masjid or musalla where sometimes the salah is led by an Imam whose pants are below his ankle or someone has no beard and I don’t have any other choice. This happened once in a while. Do I have to repeat that salah after the jamaat or will it be okay? If I have to repeat the salah then I can repeat it in the future if this one happens but what about the past salah that I don’t know how many it was.
