Prayer

If in a silent Rakah, the Imam goes into Ruku before the follower finishes Surah Al-Faatihah, is the Salaah of the follower affected if he simply goes into Ruku straight away despite knowing that he has enough time to finish the Surah and still catch up with the Imam in Ruku?

Prayer

He must finish the Fatiha quickly or his Rakah is invalid.

A sister is on journey (above 200 km) on the train. She reaches ground after Maghrib has come. So it would be allowed to shorten her prayers in shā Allāh (Dhuhr 2 rakat and 2 Asr and is able to join them together during the train drive. Please correct me if im wrong). But here is the problem: There are everywhere non-Mahram around and there is no place safe in the train to pray. Also there is no one to look for her back. Is she allowed to pray the shortened Dhuhr and Asr in the train while sitting since she fears harm from the disbelievers.

Prayer

It is not permissible for her to travel without the companionship of a male mahram! If she fears harm, she can pray sitting down.

You must not do that as reading the translation nullifies you prayer!

The answer is no as the Imam covers for his mistakes.
