Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who prays behind an imam who hurries in standing, bowing, and prostrating, such that I am unable to recite anything? Is it permissible for me to break off my prayer with him, while he has not yet finished, and pray with another congregation?
Answer:
Do not complete your prayer, but if you do complete your prayer with him, alert him to what happened. If he moderates his pace and completes the prayer, that is fine; otherwise, seek another imam to pray with. Yes.
