If the imam hastens in reciting al-Fatihah such that the ma'mum is unable to recite it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Sometimes he hires an imam just for the second recitation. Yes. And the matter becomes apparent.

Answer : If you know that the imam is hastening, it is obligatory for you to leave the prayer in the first place, because you cannot follow him while performing the pillars. So you will either miss the following or miss the pillars. So we say: leave it. Because if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the one who left his imam due to lengthening the prayer, then the one who leaves his imam due to neglecting the pillars is even more entitled to do so. Yes.
