Q: In a maghrib salaah, if I join the jamaat in the third rakat, the next two rakats do I have to recite a surah after surah fatiha? Do I have to sit in tashahud in both the remaining rakats? Similarly, how do I do it in isha if I joined in the last rakat?

Q: I actually belong to India (hanafi) but I've been living in Singapore for the last 4 years because I work here and it is shafii fiqh followed here.

Q: If there is a resident Imaam of a Masjid, who adheres to the Sunnah outwardly and by Mazhab he is a Hanafi and another Imaam from outside who it seems as though trims his beard is a Shafi/Maaliki. The question is that can the Second Imaam who is not the resident Imaam be allowed to lead the Eid Salaah on the basis that the crowd that attends the Eid Gaah is generally Shafi/Maaliki? If not then will the sin of appointing him to lead the Eid Salaah be on the board members? As the resident Imaam had informed them that the sin will be on their shoulder and not his. Is this statement correct?
Q: After reading namaaz behind a barelvi who believes that Rasullullah Alayhis Salaam is hazir nazir as he reads assalamualayka Ya Rasulullah, should one repeat the Salaah?

Q: Would the muqtadis salaah be invalid if the muqtadi hears the imam say takbeer and goes into sajdah after hearing takbeer but makes it into sajdah slightly before the imam due to imams slow movements. Would the prayer be invalid or maqrooh if this happened?
Q: Would the prayer be invalid if the muqtadi goes into ruku or sajdah say the imam is saying takbeer and moving to ruku or sajdah but the muqtadi makes it to ruku or sajdah before him and the takbeer isnt finished due to the imam saying it so slowly?
Q: Is prayer valid behind a imaam who pronounces the letter TA as a D and the letter KAF as a G (the farsi GAF)? For example he recites "...ihdinas siraDal musteGim siraDallezine..."
Also on the soft sounded letters he reads the dammah as a german ü i.e. ue and not like u in umar. Also the letter DHAD he reads it sounding to Z.
