Ambiguity in Shu'bah's hadeeth about shortening prayers
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. We read that Sayid Sabiq wrote in Fiqh As-Sunnah:
"The conflict between miles and Farsakh is made clear in Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri's statement: 'If the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,traveled a distance of one Farsakh, he would shorten his prayer.' This was related by Sa'id ibn Mansur in his Sunan and by Al-Hafiz.. More

Going early to Friday prayer is more rewardable
The Friday sermon in our mosque starts at 1.15 PM. I usually go to the mosque just when the Arabic sermon starts, but my mom insists that I go there at 12.30 PM to listen to the Bengali sermon as well. If I go to the mosque earlier than usual in this case, just to please my mom and stop being rebuked by her, is that considered ostentation?

What is the ruling on praying in the second congregational prayer in the mosque if one fears that the imam of the second congregation makes mistakes in ablution or pronunciation in the Faatihah, has very thin or transparent clothes, or makes other common mistakes that render the prayer invalid?
