Praying behind imaam who moves much in prayer

Imaam not allowed to ban people for difference over prayer Sunnah acts
Is it compliant with the Sunnah to say Aameen out loud (without startling the people around) once the imam completes Surat-ul-Faatihah in the obligatory prayer according to all the Schools of Thought?

Pressing forehead hard against ground disliked in prostration
Assalaamu alaykum. Could you please give me some advice on how to avoid pressing my forehead on the ground hard? Whenever I feel like supplicating while prostrating in or outside the prayer, I have the tendency to press my forehead on the ground, then when I get up, I feel a little lightheaded.

Reciting Tashahhud after Sujood as-Sahw in Hanbali School
Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. Thanks for responding, but your reply did not answer my question; I asked you whether is it obligatory or just Sunnah to recite Tashahud after Sujood Sahw(prostration of forgetfulness)if it is done after the Tasleem (ending the prayer with the Salaam greeting) according to the Hanbali school?

Forgetting to sit for first Tashahhud in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I prayed the Thuhr, and instead of sitting for the Tashahhud after the second Rak‘ah (unit of prayer), I started to pray another one and then remembered that I missed the Tashahhud, so I completed the Rak‘ah and did Tashahhud. Also, while praying this Rak‘ah, I felt that the second prostration.. More

Ruling on praying on plane
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Our plane will take off before the Thuhr and land before the ‘Asr (at my destination). However, I fear that because of baggage collection and immigration procedures, I might not be able to pray the Thuhr within its time. In this case, should I pray on the plane? I do not think that I can combine the.. More

Eating insect by mistake before performing prayer
Assalaam alaykum. I accidentally ate an insect. I am not sure whether it was a mosquito, a roach, or any other bug. I spit out as much as I could, casually drank some water, and prayed the Ishaa' later on with the ablution that I had before eating it. Was I suppose to rinse my mouth a certain amount of times before praying? Was my prayer void?

Teaching children that prayer is similar to meeting
While explaining the prayer to small children learning the basics of Islam, is it wrong to say the following:
“The prayer is similar to a meeting. Allaah has decreed that we, humans, meet with Him five times every day. We need to prepare for these meetings just as we would prepare for a meeting with an important person on earth.”
Kindly clarify.

Convincing disbeliever why abandoning prayer is sin
Assalaamu alaykum. One of my non-Muslim friends asked me a very difficult question. He asked why abandoning or not performing the prayer is a crime or sin. His logic is that it is like snatching free will. He feels that a crime is something like 'harming others or doing unjust things to others only' and that it is a personal thing whether one prays..

Praying behind imaam who makes mistakes in recitation
Assalaamu alaykum. Suppose that the situation is like this: The time for the prayer has come, if I go to the nearest masjid, I can catch the prayer, but the imam's recitation has some mistakes, even in Surah Al-Faatihah. There is another masjid in which the imam's recitation is good, but that masjid is bit farther away (about 7 min walking distance)... More

Missing Qunoot in Witr prayer
After completing the Witr prayer, I remembered that I did not read the Qunoot supplication. Do I need to repeat it? Also, before ending the prayer with the Tasleem once, I was in doubt as to whether I read the Qunoot supplication or not, so I stood up and repeated that unit of prayer. Was that correct of me? My final question is whether the Witr prayer.. More
