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)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
