Reciting behind Imām in Ṣalāh
Question
Assalamu Alaikum what should i do in this situation: I was praying behind the Imam and while he was reciting i was trying to recite behind him as well i accidently went ahead and said wa eed(with a daud) when the proper pronounciation was wa eed(with a dal) Jazak ALLAH
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Actually, the Muqtadi (follower) should not recite behind the Imām in Ṣalāh, whether it is a Ṣalāh in which the Qirāt is recited loudly or softly. To recite behind the Imām in Ṣalāh is prohibited (Makrūh Taḥrīmī). Nevertheless, your Ṣalāh was valid.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
