Salaah

Reciting Aameen softly

Q: Within the Hanafi Madhab, is the issue of a soft or a loud aameen in Jamaat Salaah a valid difference of opinion? I am asking this as more and more Hanafis are reciting aameen loudly, hence, I am unsure whether or not to try to correct people.

Joining the jamaat after two rakaats in a four rakaat Salaah

Q: When I am late for a fardh for example salatul dhuhr, I am late of two rakaats and I joined them and I am performing the 3rd rakaat and then after salaam you will stand again to finish the two rakaats. Here's my question, on the first rakaat should I perform attahiyat and point a finger or you will only point a finger on the second rakaat? And then after that will be salaam?

Correcting the Imaam

Q: Please can you advise what should the followers do if an Imam

1. Reads an extra rakaat in salaah and they are aware of this?

2. Should they correct him (if so please advise how) or remain silent?

3. does the namaaz have to be repeated?

4. Misses a ruku or sajdah?

Making Salaam before the Imaam

Q: Last Friday I was offering my jumma Salaah in a newly built musjid. I reached a little late but before the sermon started. I was sitting on the 1st floor of the musjid as the ground floor was fully occupied. When the prayer started, in between the speaker stopped working and we were not able to hear the Imaam so few men started calling out for the indication called the takbeer. The place where we were performing Salaah there were few adult brothers and 15-20 childrens of 10-12 years of age. As for the indication few men were calling the takbeer and the children found it too good so they were also shouting the same but at some point it happened we were not able to hear the men's call but the children's call was highly audible as it was louder than the men because the men were on the ground floor and we were few with the children. We didn't know what was going on as to what position the Imaam was in. At last the children said As salamualaikum wa rahmatullah the last 2 words in namaz and we ended our namaz but as we peeped out of the window the Imaam was still in Salaah so basically we ended before the Imaam and we have to re-pray but my question is when we ended our namaaz and Imaam was still in namaaz and we have to repeat it, so can we again join the same namaaz as the Imaam was in the last stage of namaaz but it was not ended?
