Wudhu breaking during Salaah
Q: Once I was Imam of Esha prayer, my wudhu broke after the second rakat. I did not know what to do, so I completed the namaz. Now what do I do? There were 11 people behind me.
Various masaail of Jamaat Salaah and Imaamat
How many people are required for Jamaat Salaah
Q: How many men make a jamaat?
When should the muqtadi commence his Salaam?
Q: In a Shafie masjid, when the imam makes salams at the end of the prayer, the congregation waits until he has completed both salams, then they make their own salams. Sometimes the salams of the imam are lengthy, making the congregation wait for a long period (longer than 3 subhanallahs). If a Hanafi follower also delays his salam in this manner (waiting for the imam to complete), will his salat become invalid due to delaying a wajib (i.e. intentionally delaying the first salam)?
Lengthening the ruku' when hearing someone entering the Musjid
Q: Is it preferable for the Imam to lengthen the Ruku' briefly when hearing someone entering the Masjid to join the Salaah?
Reciting behind the Imaam
Q: My question is that we read the Alhamdu shareef in our namaz. When we read namaz in jamaat then do we need to read the Alhamudu shareef or not?

Performing Fardh Salaah behind someone performing Sunnah or Nafl Salaah
Q: If one wants to pray a Fardh Salah in Jamaat, can one join a person who is praying a Sunnah Salah? What if one joins a person who is praying a Sunnah salah, but you mistakenly assumed that he is praying a Fardh?
Reciting behind the Imaam
Q: When reading salaah behind an imam, what does one read in the standing position (does the person following read surah fatiha and a surah)?
When should the Muqtadi change postures?
Q: When should the muqtadi start to change posture in salat (e.g. from qiyam to sajdah): should he start moving immediately when the imam starts saying "Allahu akbar" or should he wait until the imam has completed saying the whole phrase "Allahu akbar"? Or should he, if he can see the imam, wait until the imam has totally completed his change of posture.
Imaam breaking his wudhu
Q: If the Imaam breaks his wudhu during leading prayer, I know he can appoint another to be imaam, but is it also aloud that the jamaat does continue each individually their salaah ? Also, if the imaam is just leading 1 person, what is the situation then?
