Answer:
This is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever leads the people in prayer, let him shorten it, for among them are the old, the sick, and the one in need. But if he prays for himself, let him prolong it as much as he wishes.
ايكم اما الناس فليخفف فان فيهم الكبير والمريض وذا الحاجه فاذا صلى لنفسه فليطول ما شاء
