Can a person making signs lead the Salaah
Question
Can a person making ruku and sajda follow an Imam making salah with signs in a nafl salah?

A person who is able to perform ruku' and sajdah cannot follow a person performing salaah with signs, neither in fardh salaah nor nafl salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
