Question:
If I pray the midday or afternoon prayer behind an imam who prolongs the recitation, and I have already recited a short surah, is it prescribed for me to begin reciting a second surah until he bows, or should I remain silent and wait until he bows?
Answer:
You should recite an additional surah or verses until your imam bows; because the ma'mum does not remain silent, either he recites or he listens. So if the imam is praying a silent prayer, you should recite an addition until your imam bows. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
We will return to the rest of his questions in a future session, if Allah wills, to make room for other messages.
The Shaykh: If Allah wills.
The presenter: If Allah wills.
