Also, can someone else who doesn’t step up to lead stop their prayer to offer aid?","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Yes, that is correct, someone else can take over as imam, preferably the person right behind the imam to limit the amount of movement.\\n\\nAs for stopping the prayer to help, it is actually wājib (obligatory) to stop one's prayer to save a life, be it human or animal.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe60b76658b4c232875","tag":"Salah: Congregational","count":92}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:13.546Z"}
