If an imam leads people in prayer and is too fast for those behind him to follow, what is the ruling?

The questioner : May Allah bless you. If the imam leads the people and they cannot follow him, meaning he is too fast and they cannot keep up with his recitation.

The Shaykh : If the imam is so fast that the ma'mum cannot follow him, he should separate from him.

The questioner : Meaning,

The Shaykh : Yes, all the worshippers.

The questioner : Do they separate from him?

The Shaykh : They appoint one person to lead them in a complete prayer, because the problem is that it becomes difficult to combine following the imam with performing the pillar of the prayer.

The questioner : Even if a person disturbs us with fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), I would take him out of the row and remove him.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Okay, what is my position?

The Shaykh : Not the time.

The questioner : It is not a lie.

The Shaykh : There is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).

The questioner : Okay, my son.

The Shaykh : One of the people steps forward and leaves this one in his place; he does not drag him, but lets him pray for himself.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : No, no, they do not restart the prayer as long as they have not neglected any of the pillars. They do not restart it. But how many people like the prayer of this imam?

The questioner : We say this.

The Shaykh : If you say this, we say that the one who cannot follow should separate.

The questioner : The door before he starts.

The Shaykh : And he remains in his place.

The questioner : Yes, he prolonged it.

The Shaykh : Listen, may Allah bless you. If you cannot follow the imam, separate from him and complete the prayer for yourself. This is the rule.

The questioner : The greatest idea is the congregation, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : If you catch a rak'ah (a unit of prayer), it is counted for you. If you do not catch it, you are praying alone, but you must correct your prayer.
