Question:
What is the ruling on following a masbuq (one who joins the prayer late), O Shaykh?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible, because the masbuq is a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam), and a ma'mum cannot be an imam unless the imam appoints him as such. Therefore, it is not permissible to follow a masbuq. Yes.
