Performing salaah behind the Imaams of the Haram
Question
Some Asians don't perform namaz behind the imams of the Haram, they perform namaz separately and they say that the namaz behind the imam of the Haram is unacceptable. Can you please clarify this matter?
Answer
We perform the salaah behind the imaam. We are not aware of this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
