Some imams say the takbir before rising from prostration, and when they rise, they are slow, so the people pass them by. Is there a sin upon them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some imams, when rising from prostration or bowing, say the takbir before they rise. And when they do rise, they are slow, meaning they do not stand up straight or sit down properly until all the people behind them are already standing. How is this, Shaykh? Is there a sin in their passing them by?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is known that if they know there is a sin, but if they do not know, as we said, if we do not know the reality, we take the statement.
The questioner : Shaykh, if one advises and is not heeded, is it permissible for a person to warn the people, saying, "This one does not know..."?
The Shaykh : No, no. If one advises and is not heeded, he warns the people. It is said, "Wait until you know that he has reached the pillar." 'Abd al-Rahman.
