The imam's sutrah is a sutrah for the ma'mum during the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We know that the imam's sutrah is a sutrah for the ma'mum. So, if the imam finishes his prayer and the ma'mum stands up to make up what he missed, does the imam's sutrah remain a sutrah for the ma'mum, or does the imam cease to be a sutrah for the ma'mum after he prays alone?
When the imam says the taslim, the ma'mum becomes one who prays alone, so the imam's sutrah is not a sutrah for him. In fact, the imam is no longer an imam at that point, because he has turned away and left his place. But is it prescribed for the ma'mum, after that, when he stands up to make up what he missed, to take a sutrah?What appears to me: It is not prescribed. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), when they missed part of the prayer, would make it up without taking a sutrah.Then, if we say: It is recommended to take a sutrah, or it is obligatory according to the opinion of those who hold that a sutrah is obligatory. The general rule is that one needs to walk and move, and we do not permit this except with clear evidence.The apparent view is that it is said to the ma'mum: The imam's sutrah ended with you, and you do not take a sutrah; because there is no report of taking a sutrah during the prayer. Rather, the sutrah is taken before starting the prayer.
