The ma'mum leaving before the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The twelfth question of the fatwa number ( 5276 )
Q12: It is said: Do not precede the imam in bowing, prostrating, or departing. So if the intention behind departing is to leave, what should we do if the imam is delayed in the mosque?
A12: The term "departing" in the mention refers to exiting the prayer by saying the taslim, not exiting the mosque. Therefore, it is not permissible for the ma'mum to say the taslim before
the taslim of his imam, nor with him, but rather after him. As for exiting the mosque, the ma'mum may exit it before the imam exits. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
