Is it permissible for a ma'mum to move forward to the sutrah in front of him after the imam has said the taslim?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man is praying behind an imam, and then he stands up to complete his prayer for himself, is it permissible for him to move forward to the sutrah in front of him and take a few steps toward it?

Answer:
This is an unnecessary difficulty for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Rather, he should remain in his place and complete his prayer where he is. The imam is the sutrah for the ma'mum, even after the salam, because what comes after the salam is a continuation of what came before it. It is a continuation of what came before it, so he is a ma'mum, and the ma'mum's sutrah is his imam. Yes.
