Q:
1. There is a masjid inside a university where many Muslim students live, but it often does not have any jamaat on Sundays, though Friday prayer is held there. An imam is appointed for the masjid, but he often does not come for fajr, isha and prayers on weekends (maybe because he lives far from the university). Is it correct to start a 2nd jamaat after the imam has already led the 1st jamaat in Salaah?
2. Is it correct to offer Friday prayer in this mosque?

Q: I am living in Saudi Arabia and I am a Hanafi. Somebody told me that my prayers behind the Saudi Imams are void because of difference of wuzoo, because of their small beards (not one fist as required), because of the salaah timing, because they are shafi or hambali or wahabi. So they insist that I repeat all my 8 years of prayers. What is the fatwa?
Q: One day I was leading three people in zuhr prayer. In my second last rakaat I felt like something was coming out from my private part. I still continued with the prayer. After I finished I went to the toilet and I found it was mazi. I came back after I washed myself and made wudhu but the people we prayed together with were gone. I don't know where to find them because it was a market where we prayed. I don't know them at all. I then observed the prayer alone again. So what should I do about them?
