The sudden death of the imam during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If the imam dies suddenly during the prayer, does anyone step forward to complete what has already been prayed?
Answer:
The prayer is broken. This is a case where the event occurred before the imam’s death; this is a precedent for the event. So the one who comes after him starts the prayer anew. Yes.
