I went to 2 different masjids for Jumu’ah prayer previous weeks and one of the imaams -clearly- omitted the letter ﺽ in “wa laddallin”, the other one pronounced it as ظ. After the prayers I prayed zuhr thinking that these prayers were invalid, is what I did wrong? Do I have to go to another masjid even if it’s far from home?

If I catch the imam at 2nd rak’ah, which is my first rak’ah at zuhr or asr prayer, how do I sit for tashahud after my 2nd rak’ah? Because it’s imam’s third rak’ah and he’ll stand for his fourth rak’ah. Please sheikh I need brief explanation of my prayer at such situations.

ANSWER: You follow the Imam in exactly how he prays and you don’t sit in tashahud after YOUR 2nd rakah rather you sit with him after HIS 2nd rakha, HIS 4th rakah and you get up after he concluds his prayer and continue to pray and sit after your last rakah.

After Jummah prayer I was in a dilemma to either give my money to the poor(frequent visitors) or to give it for a construction of a masjid(one time visit). I ultimately gave it to the Masjid construction. Since Zakat is mentioned more in the Quran, should I have given it to the poor?

Charity, Zakat

ANSWER: This is not zakat, this is charity. You must give your zakat out again to the 8 categories mentioned in the Quran. Give it to the poor and needy Muslims as Zakat must be given to a poor or needy Muslims in the form of cash to do with as they please.
