Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in Prayer with Two Imams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
An imam is praying and reciting the Qur'an. When a little remains of some surahs, another person comes and completes it for him, and he finishes the recitation. Is it the one who recited the last part who is considered to have completed the Qur'an, or the one who recited the Qur'an until he was satisfied?
Answer:
There is no harm in it, meaning, doing it on behalf of the congregation does not cause any harm. The intention is to listen to the congregation's supplications, so perhaps Allah will respond to them, and doing it on their behalf does not cause any harm. Has this happened to you, O Shaykh? Just as one prays with a complete prayer, one person prays for the one who is absent, if one person prays. No one is present.
