Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for the imam to prolong the bowing if he senses someone entering the mosque in order to catch up to the rak'ah?
Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would prolong the bowing if he sensed someone coming, so that he would not hear the sound of their footsteps. He would not raise his head except when he did not hear the sound of their footsteps. However, they said that if this is difficult for the ma'mum, then those with him are more deserving of consideration than the one coming. Yes.
