Question

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

Answer

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.

Who should lead the salaah as imam?

“A Ma’zoor person making Imaamat of people who are not categorized as Ma’zoor (in fact they are in a perfect state of Tahaarah) is incorrect. Yes, a Ma’zoor may lead another Ma’zoor in Salaah as long as the both are afflicted…”
