Q&A/Fatwas

You either pull the other man to stand behind the Imam with you or push gently the Imam to step forward!

This is recommended if someone is reading for himself. But if one is praying behind an Imam, if the Imam pauses to ask Allah, you can do so. Otherwise, you should listen.

Those who followed the Imam in his 5th while they know it is 5th, their prayer is void! People should ignore the Imam and complete their prayer on their own if he stood to a fifth and wouldn’t listen to them when they said subhana Allah.

Basically, this is not permissible except if the masjid is too small to hold the big number of worshippers! It can also be permitted in non Muslim countries when they are unable to get a break to pray with the congregation on time.

Nothing.

The hadeeth is not authentic about such a prayer. Only Duha prayer is called awwabeen prayer.

A man has to pray in the masjid! If he prays home,he is sinful but his prayer is valid! His wife or mother can pray with him but must stand behind him.
