Jamaat Salaah and Imaamat

Remaining silent behind the Imaam

Q: I have a question regarding joining the jamaat for salah late. What is the ruling regarding the situation if I join the jamaat while it was in qiyam. And soon after my joing the jamaat (after 2-3 secs) the Imam goes into ruku. I didn't get enough time to recite surah fatiha. Will I get that rakat as I couldn't recite the Fatiha or I need to repeat it by myself after tasleem of Imam?

Informing the congregation to repeat a salaah

Q: One day I was leading three people in asr prayer. In my second last rakaat I felt like something was coming from my private part. I continued with the prayer. After I finished I went to the toilet and I found it was mazi. I came back after I purified myself and I did my ablution but the people we prayed together were gone. I performed the prayer alone again. So what can I do about them?

Questions relating to a masbooq

Q: I have a few questions regarding a late comer joining salaah:

1.Is it important to recite sana once you standup to complete your prayer?

2. What if sana was recited when the person joined in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rakaat

3. Due to misunderstanding and following someone, if a person follows a different procedure to complete the missed rakaats in salaah for a couple of years and now he comes to know correct Hanafi procedure, will his passed salaahs be valid?

4. Is the below procedure correct as per Hanafi mazhab: If a person joins jamaat salaah and says salaam at the end of the 2nd rakaat and after salam he stands up and doesnt read sana and treats this rakat as the 4th rakaat. He only recites surah fatiha and completes his salah. Is his salaah valid or does he have to stand up recite sana, surah fatiha and a surah to complete his salah?
