Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Does the lengthening and shortening in prayer depend on the congregation, according to their state? He says: Does the lengthening and shortening in prayer depend on the mosque congregation, according to their state?
Answer:
They said: If the congregation desires lengthening, he lengthens; but if the congregation does not desire lengthening, he does not lengthen. If they desire lengthening, he does not go against them. If they are all in agreement on desiring lengthening, he lengthens, because there is no harm in that. Yes.
