Q: After the Fajr Azaan one is only allowed to perform the 2 Sunnats. If we performed our 2 Sunnats of Fajr after the Azaan at home then when we enter the Masjid:
1. Can we perform 2 Rakaats Tahiyyatul Masjid or will it fall away?
2. Can we perform other Nafl Salaah during this time before the Fardh Salaah commences?
Q: I have a problem that when I go to sajdah, some drops of urine come out. So when I do sajdah, I do my best to prevent from this happening. For this I often do sajdah with my feets not touching each other in sajdah.
Also when I rise from one sajdah I do not sit properly and then again go to the next sajdah.
These acts prevent the drop of urine from coming out.
Is this permissible for me or not to do during Namaz?

Please clarify with guidelines for our masaajid.
Q: When we are in the masjid and iqaamah has already started, sometimes a person in the first row moves back to make space if another learned Maulana arrives, even though there are already a few learned Ulama present in the first row.
Should we move from our place to give space to a Maulana at that time, or should we remain focused and avoid movement so we can prepare ourselves to stand before Allah? What is the correct adab according to the sunnah?
Q: Is it permissible to read salaah on the mataaf in jamaat, as this is technically reading in front of the imam? Previously the imaams would perform on the mataaf/hateem, but not anymore.
