The questioner : Please proceed.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The presenter : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.
The questioner : A question over the phone. Yes, how are you, Honorable Shaykh? Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. Some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) who do not catch up with the prayer in full, after the imam says the taslim, advance several steps toward the imam for the sake of the sutrah. Is this permissible?
