Question

We have only one Imaam in our musjid. Only sometimes he is a few seconds late not regularly. Should the musallees at least wait a few minutes for the Imaam? please advise.

Answer

Yes, as long as it is manageable for the musallees.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
