How to hasten to the Maghrib prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the adhan has ended and the iqamah is called, is this considered hastening?
The Shaykh : No, it is better to wait a little so that people can pray between the adhan and the iqamah, but those who are praying should also shorten the prayer slightly so that the hastening is achieved. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. In some countries... the Maghrib prayer is delayed, and the imam of the mosque arrives late, and the common people stand up against him. Shaykh, does this mean we say he is hastening so that no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) arises? He is delaying it.
The Shaykh : I mean, the regular imam should hasten. The regular imam, I mean, okay.
The questioner : The common people should not wait after the adhan; they should go straight to prayer.
The Shaykh : If he had trained them to delay, they would not have said anything. Adam.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This hastening is always the case, and sometimes it is not.
The Shaykh : No, he always hastened. Yes.
The questioner : At the beginning, he would start the prayer, meaning he would lengthen the prayer.
The Shaykh : He would lengthen the prayer sometimes, not always. For Maghrib, he did not lengthen it except rarely. Perhaps he would recite al-Mursalat, perhaps al-Tur, perhaps al-Dukhan, perhaps al-A'raf as well.
