What is the ruling regarding the followers (Ta'ifa) who are praying behind an Imam when the Imam makes a mistake (sahu) before they separate?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of the Prayer of Fear
Primary text
If the Imam makes a mistake before the separation of the two groups, the ruling concerning the Imam's mistake applies to the first group of followers. If the followers make a mistake before separation, the ruling concerning their mistake does not apply to them because they are considered followers (ma'moomun).
