Fatwa #62941 August 2002United States of America

If I am leading a Salaat, and am about to complete my Rukoo, or about to say ‘Salaam’ to finish, and hear/sense people rushing to join, can I intentionally lengthen my action to allow them to join?

Answer

In principle, it is Makrooh Tahrimi (disliked) to prolong the Ruku or any
portion of Salaat in order to facilitate people joining the Salaat. (Shaami
vol.1 pg.494; HM Saeed)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai
