Question

Basically in school we have a special prayer room that we had got for praying zuhr at lunchtime. The imaam is my younger brother who is a Hafiz. There were some brothers that used to lead but now its my brother because its more of his right as he is a hafizul quran and then a few days ago subhanallah while we were praying with jamaat they made there own jamaat right next to us. I think its a matter of the person wanting to lead as I know he is not a hafiz and doesn't have a beard so its not exactly his right to lead. My question is what can I say to the brothers that made there own while our jamaat has commenced? When there are a group of people how does one choose a certain person to lead as I heard there are certain conditions?

Answer

Don't fall into these issues. It is better that you'll link up with the tableegh jamaat and take some direction from them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
