Q: My question is regarding the method of jamaat namaz:

1. If someone is offering namaaz with jamaat, should he be required to recite “Surah-fatiha” and a surah after that if the imam is reciting it?

2. Now in the case of Zuhr and Asr prayers (when imam is not reciting loudly Surah fatiha and Surah) do the people have to recite it or should they simply stand quiet?

3. In the last 2 rakats of a farz namaaz, I know that surahs are not recited after surah fatiha, I just want to confirm this from you?

4. If I join the jamaat in the rukooh of the first rakaat, I don’t need to repeat the 1st rakaat (this is what I understand); now when will I recite the thana “subhanakaALLAH...” ?

Q: The norm today is to employ famous clean shaven Qaaris to entertain the crowds. Some Ulamaa say the idea is to promote and encourage the youth to learn and recite the Quraan. Is it permissible?

Is it permissible to allow photo's and videos to be taken in the Masjid while the Qaari is reciting. Shouldn't this entertainment be conducted at other venues and not in the Masaajid. This will prevent disrespecting the sanctity of the Masjid.

Q: Can you appoint a person who has the latest style short cut beard much shorter than a fist length to make jumah. 

Q: Can the Imaam make a juma khutbah and perform the salaah with his scarf covering his face so much so that only his nose is exposed. When he goes into ruku the scarf hangs down both sides onto the ground. 

Q: A person want to put up a cell phone tower on a Darul Uloom property or on his own property, do you have to get permission from the neighbors from a Shari point of view? If the neighbors object what is the ruling? 

Q: Is saying jazakAllah in Islam?

Q: If two people depart after meeting then saying salam is required or Allah Hafiz? 

Q: Where in the Quraan is it mentioned that wudu breaks and impurity on the clothes invalidates prayer? 

Q: Is saying 33 SubhanAllah, 33 Alhamdulillah and 34 times Allahu Akbar after each prayer rewarding? 

Q: There is a hadith that if one gets up from his sleep, he must not put his hands into a vessel before washing them because one doesn't know where his hands were when he was sleeping. So do my hands become impure after I get up from my sleep?
