If the imam is delayed, what do the ma'mum (those praying behind him) do?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : What distinguishes the imam from the ma'mum in these excuses? Because if the imam is delayed from the congregation, they might wait for him while he is sitting.

Answer : However, the imam should notify the congregation that if he is delayed, for example, for ten minutes or five minutes, whichever he sees fit, they should pray. The ma'mum and the imam are the same in this regard.
