Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the imam does not settle in his prayer, so that the one praying behind him cannot perform some of the pillars, is it permissible to pray behind him?

Answer:
No. He should be advised to settle in his prayer. Settling is a pillar of the prayer, a pillar.
then bow down and remain quietly in that positionاركع حتى تطمئن راكعا
Sahih Muslim 397a
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
then prostrate yourself and remain quietly in that attitudeاسجد حتى تطمئن ساجدا
Sahih Muslim 397a
. Everything mentioned as a pillar is followed by the phrase "until you settle." This is the hadith of the one who prays badly.
