The Prayer of One Who Deliberately Races Ahead of the Imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the stronger position regarding the ruling on the prayer of one who deliberately races ahead of the imam? Is his prayer invalid?
Answer:
It appears that if he does it deliberately, it appears that his prayer is invalid; his prayer is invalid. For this reason, Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man racing ahead of the imam, hurrying in the prayer, and he said: "You did not pray alone, nor did you follow your imam. If you were to die in this state, you would die upon other than Islam." The matter is severe in this regard. Yes.
