Cutting the voluntary prayer when the imam says the takbir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May you live long, I have a question regarding the voluntary prayer. If the imam says the takbir and I want to catch up with the takbir of intention, how do I cut off my voluntary prayer?
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : If the imam says the takbir and I want to catch up with the takbir of intention while I am praying the voluntary prayer, how do I cut it off? Do I only say the salam to my right, I mean?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. First, if the imam says the takbir and you are in the voluntary prayer, if you are in the second rak'ah, complete it briefly, and if you are in the first rak'ah, cut it off without saying the salam.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
