Salaah

Can a Musaafir read his Asr in Zuhr time?

Q: Due to travelling by bus for lengthy hours, can a Hanafi read his Asr after Zohr in the time of Zohr if he knows for certain that the bus stops occasionally for 2 mins only (which is insufficient time to perform salaah) & the next lengthy stop will be after maghrib. There is no place to stand & read salaah on the bus, there is place to sit. If Yes, he can perform the Asr early, then can he make jamaat in Zohr time with other passengers who are in the same position as him? & now, suppose the bus suddenly stops for 10 mins during Asr time (which is sufficient to read Farz of Asr), does the Asr performed earlier on during Zohr time become null & void?

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? 

Walking in front of a person who is performing Salaah

Q:

  1. There is a narration which gives severe warnings for those who walk in front of a person who is performing salaah. If there is a person praying in the main prayer hall of the musjid, how far in front of him should we pass and be not considered to have walked in front of the person performing  salaah as mentioned in the narration?
  2. If I perform sunnah salaah in the musjid and after I finish, I find someone also performing salaah exactly behind me, whether it's one row or several rows behind, should I wait till he finishes then get up to leave, or I can just immediately get up and whether this is considered as walking in front of people performing salaah?

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?
