Imaam reciting qunoot after rukoo in fajr salaah
Q: I am in UAE. In one masjid while offering fajr Salah the imam was reciting some dua like qunoot followed by some other dua's and ended with durood on Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam.He did this after getting up from ruku in second rakaat.

Reciting from different surahs in salaah
Q: In one musjid, the Imam Saheb read in the first rakaat of Fajr Salaah from the middle of Surah Tahreem,
يا أيها الذين آمنوا قوا أنفسكم و اهليكم
till the end of the Surah. Then in the second rakaat he read a different surah. Is there any reason for doing so? Would it not be better to start at the beginning of the Surah, read 2 pages, then in the second rakaat finish off the Surah?
