Etiquettes When Leading People In Prayer
AsSalamualikum I have 1 question. You see, in my country, some shopping malls are equipped with prayer rooms. And most of the time, I am asked to be the Iman to a small group of people (around 2-4 it depends actually). Therefore, I was hoping that you could educate me on the rules and etiquette or everything I need to know to be an imam to both my family.. More

Delivering a Class While People are Praying
Assalamu alaykumIn our local masjid short duroos given (for about 10 minutes) right after fajr and maghrib salah.

Is this postponing right or is it considered a bidah?

Correcting imaam with other than Tasbeeh
Assalaamu alaykum. In our area, whenever an imam makes a mistake, like standing after the second unit of prayer without sitting for Tashahhud or sitting for Tashahhud after the third one, people behind him make Takbeer (saying: Allahu Akbar [Allah is Most Great]), instead of Tasbeeh (saying: Sobhaan Allah [glory to Allah]) to make him aware. Is that.. More

Praying behind imam who makes clear mistakes in Al-Faatihah
Assalaamu alaykum. Please answer me directly without refering to another fatwa.

Or should I join him first and then repeat the prayer? Praying alone while.. More

Praying behind imam who is not in state of ablution
Assalaamu alaykum. I understand that the view adopted at islamweb regarding if the imam led the prayer without ablution is that only the imam has to make up for it, and not the congregation, according to some of the scholars.
