Jamaat Salaah and Imaamat

Q: I am Islamically 14 and not sure if I am baaligh. I have released mazi and probably wadhi but not mani. Am I baaligh and can I perform Salaah as an Imaam?

Q: This weekend I was out musafir for a few days with a few friends. We came to a masjid to perform salaah. Two friends we finished making wuduh and the third was still making wuduh so the two of us decided to start our farad thinking the 3rd brother will join us. Our first rakat was almost finished when the third brother finished his wudu. The brother didn't join us but performed his salah on his own. When asked why he didn't join us he said because we didn't wait for him. Is this brother sinful for doing that?

Q: I live in a non-muslim country so every time I go to mosque for prayer, I call my brother on his cell phone so he can listen to the Qiraat of the Imaam and pray behind him (He lives in a different city where there is no mosque nearby). Is it allowed to pray like this?

Q: A married person who is secretly in contact with another unmarried woman but he is an Imam of a masjid also, Salaah performed behind him is valid or not?

Q: How will a Hanafi muqtadi follow a shaafi or hambali etc in their witr salaah?

Q: If musallees walk out of jamaat salaah just because they think the Imaam is arrogant and they have issues with him, is this correct? Some who feel the same still pray in the masjid behind him but then go home and repeat it. Is this correct? 

Q:

1. If a person is a Haafiz, is it permissible for him to recite the Qur'an in front of everybody without a topi?

2. Can he lead the namaaz?

Q: What are the prayer and other sharia rules concerning a person born out of wedlock. If he can't inherit from his father and can't lead a jamaat in prayer then why must he himself read prayer or fast?

Q: For whatever reason which Allah (Ta'ala) knows best I woke up for fajr salaah a bit later than usuall i.e. within permissible time but not enough to make it to the masjid as I felt I could miss the Jamaah and fall within an impermissible tome. I commenced with salaah and performed a short but not hesty salaah with Jamaah at home. I had completed salaah and tasbih* and dua by 04:35am- 20/12/2015-durban. Latest Jamaat commencment time in locality is at 04:25 (Masjid is Al-Hilal)- did my salaah fall within the permissible time and was my decision to perform salaah at home with jamaat at home valid on grounds that I could have missed salaah and permissible time completely had I driven to the masjid. Note that we follow the Shafi'i Madhab so the duration of salaah included dua e qunoot which was incumbent on me as the imam leading salaah.

Q: When performing Salaah behind an Imaam, what should one recite in the standing posture? Will one have to recite Surah Faatiha and a Surah?
