Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the resting sitting for the one praying? And if the one praying is behind the imam and he sits for the rest while the imam does not sit, does that result in him being delayed?
Answer:
The one praying behind the imam follows the imam and does not sit for the rest unless he is sick and needs to rest; in that case, he rests and then catches up with the imam. But if he is strong, he does not go against the imam.
