The Imam hastening in such a way that causes him and other people to offer Salah improperly

Q 1: One day, one of our colleagues led us in Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer in the workplace. He offered the Salah so quickly that we could not finish reciting Surah Al-Fatihah except during Ruku' (bowing) in more than one Rak'ah. Is the Salah performed in this manner valid? What is the ruling on the Imam who offers Salah hastily without the least serene reflection?


A: Your Salah is valid, if he recited Al-Fatihah. However, the Imam should offer Salah in a state of tranquility to let the people led by him do the pillars and obligations of Salah. He should not hasten in such a way that causes him and other people to offer Salah improperly.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
