Q: What is the method of making salam behind the Imaam in jamaat?

Q: If person A prays a fard prayer and Person B prays nafl prayer behind him, will Person A obtain the reward for praying in congregation (25/27 times the reward of praying alone), even though the person he is leading is only praying nafl?

Q: If the Imaam makes sajdah sahw, what should a latecomer do if he sees the Imaam making taslim but then does sajdah sahw? Should he also make salaam and sajdah sahw, or should make sajdah sahw without Salaam?

Q: Should we recite when Imam is not reciting in namaaz bajamaat?

Q: My question is about a random salafi brother that came up to me after Salah and he is like you should not have stood alone at the back your Salah is not accepted. I believe its Makrooh to stand alone in a Saaf. There was no space and later someone joined as well. I just wanted dalil for my self not for anyone else. I got very irritated because I could see he was just bringing up issue after issue. Allhumdulilah I read your fatwas everyday, he went on after that talking about where we place our hands and he was like Walahi the hadith is daaif about Ali Radhiallahu anho. I was so shocked he was taking Qasam on everything. I have read proofs from your website about the hands. My main concern is my intention. I am going to be starting Alim course soon. Could you explain the type of intention I should have when studying and coming across people like this. I know everything is for the sake of Allah. But I felt very angry towards this person more then anything and I had this feeling which was from shaitaab to prove him wrong.

Q: In the Hadith it comes to read Esha and fajr with jamaat, one would get all night reward, does this mean in the masjid or if one reads at home with jamaat would he get all night reward? 

Q: If the men of a household decide to pray a congregational prayer at home, will it be best for the women of the home to join them in their prayer or is it better for the women to pray separate prayers on their own?

Q: Does Salah in Congregation (Jamaat) with ones family women folk hold the same status, rules and rewards as a Male Congregation?

Q: When should the masbooq (latecomer) stand up to complete his missed rakaats? Should he stand up after the Imaam has made one salaam or should he wait until the Imaam has completed both salaams?
