Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The statement of some jurists: "It is the Sunnah for an imam who is bowing to wait for a follower to enter, provided it does not cause hardship for the worshippers?"
Answer:
The intention is to seek what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did and to be at ease; because this enables the worshippers to follow him with humility and tranquility.
Q: But some imams delay in the bowing so that the latecomer can catch up quickly?
The Shaykh: If he hears the sound of a foot, he delays slightly; it does not cause hardship for the people.
