Jamaat Salaah and Imaamat

Appointing a person who trims his beard less than a fist as Imaam

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?

Qiyum-ul-layl (Tahajud) in congregation in the month of Ramadhaan

Q: During the last 10 days of Ramadan brothers in our Masjid Perform Qiyum-ul-layl (Tahajud) in congregation. Would like to know if this is permissible, if not then what should we do if you are doing Itikhaff in the masjid. One scholar told has that Deoband has given a special permission to perform Tahajud in Congregation during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

Offering Salaah with Jamaat

Q: In the area which I live in is a Barelwee Musjid. I read most of my salah in this Musjid. For Fajr Salah the Muazzin, who is a Shafi'ee, performs the Salah. The thing is that the trustees don't allow him to read Qunoote Naazila because they are Hanafee so he is forced to leave it out. I heard that Qunoote Naazila is like wajib for Shafees. I feel that the Salah is deficient so I read Fajr at home. Will it be better for me to read Fajr in this Musjid or should I continue to read it at home? 

Imaamat of a person who cuts of ties with people

Q: I live in New Zealand and know that Qata Rahmee for the sake of Dunya is becoming common. I have seen that Imam of our masjid is good at Qata Rahmee. He has not spoken to many for months and years. This grieves me too much as he is not a common person. His place is much higher than a person like me but such act and that is only for petty things (Dunyawi matters) create bad impression. I need your help to know that the Namaz and the imamat of such Maulana is kamil or unacceptable especially since he is a person who knows all that?

Salaat with jamaat

Q: I would like to know what is the shari implication on not performing salaat with jamaat. I noticed that many men who are fit and able do not make any attempt to come to the musjid for salaat with jamaat. Some even live within walking distance to the musjid. Also what I find very strange they are regular with work and other sporting activities.
