The Shaykh : The Shaykh : The answer: Yes, he says it, but as we pointed out recently, he should not rush when he hears the imam’s nun settle . The follower should take it as if he were the one reciting; he takes a breath and then says: . In this state, he has not preceded the imam, unlike what we observe today in many countries, . It is not necessary at that moment to hear it; because many imams follow the school of insisting on in some countries, especially the lands of some non-Arabs, such as the Turks, who are mostly adherent to the Hanafi school. The Hanafi school holds that the imam does not recite aloud, but rather whispers it, and this is contrary to the correct Sunnah; because the Sunnah explicitly stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he said: , said: and raised his voice with it. So if the worshipper is afflicted with following = -- and peace be upon you -- = following an imam of the Hanafi school, for example, who does not consider it a Sunnah to recite aloud, or he considers it but is lazy and does not guide himself to adhere to the Sunnah, and does not recite aloud; then that does not prevent the follower from saying: , but he must not rush with it, as we mentioned recently.
