Q377: Four Questions about breaking Wudhu in Salaah with Jamaat

Question

Assalamu Alaykum W.W.

What should we do:

• When we pray salaah behind the imam and we have missed rakaat(s)
• If in salaah with jammat, I happened to be in the second saf and the person in front of me broke his wudhu and left salaah
• If one breaks wudhu in salaah with jamaat and he is in the first saf, should he
  • Should he go all the way round, walking infront of everyone and walk on the side? Or…
  • Walk back through the safs, fourcing gaps in the sufoof?
• If I am leading the salaah and during salaah I happened to break my wudhu. How should the situation be dealt with

Answer

• When the imam says the 2nd Salaam you are allowed to get up
• You should walk upto the saf in front taking just 2 steps. Continuous walking up-to 2/3 safs could break the salah
• The less inconvenience, the better
• You Should pull someone from behind and let them continue the salah
