We were praying outside the mosque, and the imam's voice cut out, so one of us stepped forward and led us in prayer. Is what we did valid?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: The questioner says: I and some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) were praying outside the mosque, and the voice of the mu'adhdhin (the one who calls to prayer) cut out. He says: I and some of the ma'mum were praying outside the mosque, and the voice of the mu'adhdhin cut out, and we did not hear the imam's voice, and we were unable to follow the one behind him. So one of the ma'mum stood up, stepped forward, and led us in prayer as imam. We stopped following the first imam. His question is: Is what we did valid?

Answer:
If Allah wills, this action is valid. If the following of the imam was cut off while you were in prayer, and one of you stepped forward to complete the prayer, then this is the way, and he did well in that. Yes.
