Q 2: What
should the Ma'mums (persons being led by an Imam in Prayer) do if the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) falls down during the Salah (Prayer)?
Should they give aid to him or do they have to proceed with the Salah and let only one of them help the Imam?
A:
If an Imam is unable to complete the Salah because he fainted etc.; one of the Ma'mums is to step forward to act as an Imam and continue the Salah as what happened in the story of
`Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). On the other hand, if the first Imam needs help; it will be permissible for one or more Ma'mum to relieve him provided that they make up for their Salah later on.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
