Q: There is a masjid inside a university where many Muslim students live, but it often does not have any jamaat salaah on Sundays, though the 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). When the imam is not present, anyone leads the prayer. Is it correct to start a 2nd jamaat after the imam has already led the 1st jamaat salaah?

Q: Can the imam accept the luqma given by a mahram woman who is praying behind him, if the imam makes mistake in the qiraat. Is the namaz valid or becomes void?
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).

3. I led a 2nd jamaat in this masjid, but after I started, I heard someone else leading another jamaat in the corner of the masjid. I did not know this before I started. Will I and my muqtadi's have to repeat the Salaah?

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?
