The ma'mum preceding the imam in saying the ameen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the ma'mum precedes the imam in saying "Ameen," does this count as preceding the imam, considering that the imam sometimes takes a breath after completing the surah, and the ma'mum ends up ahead of him?
Answer:
It appears, and Allah knows best, that this is a minor matter and is not considered a violation of following the imam. However, in any case, he should strive to follow the imam. If he inadvertently precedes the imam, it does no harm.
