Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it part of the Sunnah for the imam to prolong the final tashahhud, making it difficult for some of the worshippers? We ask for guidance.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for the imam to prolong the prayer for the ma'mum (those praying behind him), neither in the tashahhud nor in anything else, nor in the recitation, nor in the ruku' (bowing), nor in the sujud (prostration). If any of you is
the people in prayer should shorten it because among themالناس فليخفف فإن فيهم
Sahih al-Bukhari 90
an old man, a sick person, or one in need, he should shorten the prayer for the ma'mum in a way that does not invalidate the prayer, does not invalidate the prayer, and does not harm the ma'mum. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
