The Leading of Residents After the Traveler’s Taslim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A traveling man led a group of resident women in the Zuhr prayer, then said the taslim after two rak'ahs. Is it permissible for one of them to step forward and lead the congregation in the last two rak'ahs, or do they pray individually, each making up the remaining two rak'ahs and saying the taslim?
Answer:
Since everyone is praying for themselves, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he prayed and left the people of Makkah behind in the Farewell Pilgrimage, having prayed with them in the Haram, said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the taslim, they stood up and completed the prayer for themselves, and they did not appoint an imam. So, rather, each person who has completed his prayer should proceed to what he owes, rather than appointing an imam. Rather, each of them says... Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
