The ruling on praying behind a Hanafi who does not pause in his prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If that affects his prayer, for example, if you pray behind a Hanafi who does not pause, and the Hanafis (may Allah have mercy on them) hold that pausing is not a pillar, so they consider that if a person prays without pausing, his prayer is valid. Do you feel that you should care about it? No, you do not feel it.
Answer : No, because it is not required of me, by following him, that I do not pause. And if I lag behind him and he proceeds in his own way, completing four or whatever, and I am in Ramadan, can it be said that this is a mistake? If his action, or his ijtihad, or his madhhab affects my work, and disrupts the following or what I believe to be a mistake, then here we cannot validate this issue, because now it is between two things: either I leave off the pause, and I hold that the pause is a unit, or I lag behind him, and in that case it does not lead to following, and I am precise for you. Clear? Yes.
