Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is my prayer valid if I follow a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) instead of the imam?
Answer:
Regarding following the imam, the back rows follow the rows in front of them because they do not see the imam, so they take them as a sign of the imam's movements.
