Jazaka Allahu Khayrun is not (correct) Arabic and Jazaka Allahu Khayr is a lazy form which ignores the correct rulings of grammar which could also be regarded as incorrect. People using it either are in doubt of the grammar or lazy.– Medi1Saif ♦Commented Mar 18, 2023 at 19:59

@Medi1Saif what will be correct arabic in that case? Can you see the accepted answer, he linked a Hadith which talks about using Jazkallah Khayrun– user15296915Commented Mar 18, 2023 at 22:47

As Salaamu 3laykum,
I hope you are doing well. When using Wa-iyyak or Wa-iyyakum it depends who you are addressing. In arabic there are pronouns that are attached and de-attached. In this case these are attached pronouns.
1 male - wa-iyyaka
2 males - wa-iyyakuma
3 or more males - wa-iyyakum
1 female - wa-iyyaki (kee)
2 females - wa-iyyakuma
3 or more females - wa-iyyakuna

Regarding your second question:
The Messenger of ALLAAH (ﷺ) said, “He who is favoured by another and says to his benefactor: `Jazak-Allah khairan (may Allah reward you well)’ indeed praised (the benefactor) satisfactorily.” Riyad As-Salihin – [At-Tirmidhi]

Jazakallah Khairan! What about when addressing a mix crowd of male and female? Commented Mar 18, 2023 at 22:45

@user15296915 as in most other languages in case that at least one male is within a group the grammar used is for male plural.– Medi1Saif ♦Commented Mar 19, 2023 at 12:35
