Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the statement of the author (may Allah have mercy on him) in his commentary on the appointment of Abu Bakr as successor, where he said, "For the outcome of it is that it occurred with two imams"?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. It is valid for the beginning of the prayer to be led by one imam and the end by another, as evidenced by the prayer of Abu Bakr. He began the prayer, then he stepped back when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived from the Banu 'Amr ibn 'Awf, so the prayer was led by two imams: its beginning by the imamate of Abu Bakr and its end by the imamate of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
