The ruling on the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) hastening before their imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is the case of an imam who, when he says the takbir (saying Allahu akbar) for prostration, the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) reach prostration before him.
The Shaykh:
Meaning he prolongs it.
The questioner:
Yes, he prolongs it.
The Shaykh:
He should advise them, and they should not hasten until he finishes; they should not hasten until he finishes the takbir (saying Allahu akbar).
The questioner:
Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh:
He should advise them; it is not permissible for them to match his length, as that is disliked (makruh), but they should be a little careful. May Allah protect you. Some people, for example, hasten.
