The Ruling on Relaying the Imam's Words in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In the Friday prayer, the followers were cut off from some of the congregation, so some of them began to relay the imam's takbir and other actions aloud. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
Yes, this is relaying the imam's actions. It is permissible to relay the imam's actions if there is a need for it. This was done during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was leading his companions in prayer during his final illness, and Abu Bakr would say the takbir following the Prophet's takbir. Abu Bakr would follow the Prophet, and the people would follow Abu Bakr's takbir, bowing, and prostration. This is called relaying the imam's actions in prayer, and it is permissible when needed. Yes.
