The ruling on moving from one imam to another in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In it, is there also a question about whether one moves from one imam to another? From one imam to another. Brother, it is not the one behind you. You? No, it is not the one behind you. From one imam to another. Is it permissible to move?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, one moves, and that is when one is in the prayer of the masbuq (one who joins the prayer late).
The Shaykh : No, no, wait. Is it permissible or not?
The questioner : Yes, it is permissible for you. You reminded me. I was saying something about the Ahl al-Bayt regarding a section.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The questioner : I do not have evidence.
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, your colleague said it a moment ago.
The questioner : Real Madrid.
The Shaykh : Yes, the hadith of Abu Bakr. At first, the people’s imam was
The questioner : Makkah.
The Shaykh : Abu Bakr, and then in the second [unit].
The questioner : What is the matter?
The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became the imam. Is that clear? Good. So it is permissible to move from one imam to another. Yes? Seven or more, the important thing is that in all these transitions, it is permissible to move from one state to another according to the stronger position, and the only exception to this is where the ma’mum’s (one praying behind the imam) doing it alone does not benefit anything, so its exception is clear.
