Following the Imam in the Friday Prayer When Schools of Jurisprudence Differ
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The imam who does not consider the Friday prayer obligatory, and those who do consider it obligatory, how do they lead the prayer? The imam is present, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says
The Shaykh : We say this because these people consider it obligatory. He does not consider it so. So either they pray the Friday prayer in the mosque, meaning, or they pray in another place other than this man's mosque.
The questioner : If the Shafi'i imam left the first tashahhud, this is obligatory. What? The Shafi'i imam, yes, you left the first witness, this is obligatory, O Shaykh. Yes.
The Shaykh : If I were praying behind a Shafi'i imam who does not consider the first tashahhud obligatory and he stood up and left it, would I be with you?
The questioner : And this is obligatory, and it is a place of major disagreement among the scholars. Why do we not follow them in this?
The Shaykh : The imam is established by the fact that when the Messenger stood up from the first tashahhud in forgetfulness, they stood up with him.
The questioner : The imam on Friday, when we follow him, we follow him until this is a matter of disagreement, and even
The Shaykh : Yes, this has not yet become obligatory for them to follow him, unlike those who entered the prayer with him, for whom following him is obligatory. But now, since he did not enter the prayer with him, we do not say that we must follow your opinion.
The questioner : We know this faith in its place.
The Shaykh : Yes, we mentioned it from the beginning.
The Shaykh : We say this because these people consider it obligatory. He does not consider it so. So either they pray the Friday prayer in the mosque, meaning, or they pray in another place other than this man's mosque.
