Question

What should a person who is sitting in the first saff or nearby do when he has the need to stand up and begin his two rakaat Sunnah Salaah after the Fardh Maghrib Salaah, but the lmaam is busy quoting the Hadeeth? Many feel it might be rude to stand up while a Hadeeth is being quoted.

Answer

The musalli should simply get up and move out of the saff to perform his Sunnat Salaat. He should ignore the stupid frowns of displeasure of the imaam and his cronies who regard with disdain someone who engages in the Sunnatul Muakkadah Salaat. For them, listening to the errant imaam has greater merit and importance than engaging in the ibaadat commanded by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). It is the Waajib duty of musallis to dissociate from this new bid'ah by ignoring the imaam's bayaan and engaging immediately with the Sunnah Salaat.
