Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am confused about the difference between the two narrations from Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the issue of when one stands up for prayer. Is there a difference between the presence and absence of the imam?
Answer:
Because if the imam is not present, standing up and waiting is difficult for them, so out of mercy and kindness to them, they remain seated until the imam arrives. However, if the imam is present or they see him, there is no hardship in that, because he will enter the prayer immediately. Yes.
