Following the Latecomer in His Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to follow the one who joins the prayer late?
Answer:
No, because he is a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam), and a ma'mum does not become an imam unless the imam appoints him as his deputy. Yes.
