Some scholars say that it is permissible to follow the Imam as he himself is following a respected school of thought.

And Allah knows best

Sheikh, I have a new alarm clock and this morning at Fajr time I didn’t hear it ringing. I woke up with few minutes before sunrise, because my son was crying and it was the time to breastfed.So he was loudly crying and I just took him and started breastfeeding, but while I was doing this I could see the Sun more and more, and losing my prayer. What was I supposed to do? To let him cry and go pray? Or to finish feeding him and then pray?or should I breastfeeding him while praying?To know, if it will be happen again…

Where I am, taraweeh starts at 9 PM and lasts until 10:30 PM(11 rakkah), while we have Athan at 04:45 AM. What is more rewardable, praying Witr with the imam? Or can I continue praying at home? How many rakah should I pray?
