Q: I am in UAE. In one masjid while offering fajr Salah the imam was reciting some dua like qunoot followed by some other dua's and ended with durood on Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam.He did this after getting up from ruku in second rakaat. And the imam sahaab leads the fajr prayers in the same way everyday. Is there any Hadith proving this way.

Q: In a Masjid, a row is usually left empty after every few rows, as it has several pillars.
1. If it is left empty, is the Salah of those behind it valid?
2. Is Salah valid between the pillars?
3. Once, people prayed in that row to the right of a pillar, but to the left of the pillar the row was empty. Was the Salah of those who prayed to the right of the pillar valid?

Q: In one musjid, the Imam Saheb read in the first rakaat of Fajr Salaah from the middle of Surah Tahreem,
يا أيها الذين آمنوا قوا أنفسكم و اهليكم
till the end of the Surah. Then in the second rakaat he read a different surah. Is there any reason for doing so? Would it not be better to start at the beginning of the Surah, read 2 pages, then in the second rakaat finish off the Surah?
Q: In fardh Salaat, is it appropriate to recite Ayatul Kursi in the first rakaat, and a Surah shorter than Ayatul Kursi in the second rakaat? For example, reciting Ayatul Kursi in the first rakaat, and either Surah Asr or Surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat.
Q:
1. I wanted to know if two women are reading Taraweeh together, must the one leading for those rakaats stand a little forward and the one following a little behind, or must they stand in line?
2. If one woman isn't reading, can she sit with a Qur'aan next to the one who's reading Taraweeh, and correct her if she makes a mistake ? (The one reading will be reciting in a slightly audible tone, is this permissible as well?)
Q: I am an employee in india. The maghrib time in summer (which is the season right now) starts at/after the time when my office bus starts (6:30pm) to drop the employees. Since I take the office bus and my home is approximately 2hrs, my maghrib takes place in the bus whilst being seated. There is very little khushoo with everyone staring at me and it is troubling me a lot. Is it valid for me to join my maghrib prayer with asr so that I can pray it peacefully in office before starting? If valid, can I join asr and maghrib until the sunset time changes to before 6:30pm which might take 4-5 months?
Q: Is it permissible to pray salat wearing a t-shirt which contain a picture of human which is kept coverd?
