Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Ali, says: Honorable Shaykh, in our mosque there is a man next to me in the front row, but he races ahead of the imam in bowing and prostrating. How do we advise him, considering he is old in age?
Answer:
Explain to him that this is not permissible, and it is not permissible to race ahead of the imam, as it may invalidate the prayer. So advise him of this and explain it to him. If he does not hear the imam, then the person next to him should alert him with a cough or the like.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
