Is it permissible for a ma'mum to separate and complete his prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Is it permissible if the imam prolongs the prayer and I must leave him due to a need? Is it permissible for me to intend to pray alone and complete it by myself?
Answer:
Yes. If a ma'mum encounters an obstacle that requires him to separate, such as an illness that strikes him and prevents him from continuing, he may intend to complete his prayer lightly and leave. Or if he fears the loss of his wealth or its disappearance, he may separate, complete his prayer, say the taslim, and go to protect his wealth, or similar excuses. Or if he fears missing the group he is traveling with, fearing that if he continues with the imam, the group will depart, he may separate, complete his prayer, and catch up with his companions for the journey. Yes.
