Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the imam delays in saying the ameen, is it permissible for the ma'mum to say it before him?

Answer:
If he does not delay for a long time, as some innovators or ignorant people do, but only for a short duration, extending it slightly, that is fine. However, if he extends it for a long time, as some innovators do, this is not permissible.
