Question
The Imaam of the Musjid was not present. One of the musallis led the Salaat. In the first raka't, he recited the first two aayats of Surah Mulk. He stalled in the third aayat. Without completing the third aayat, he went into Ruku'. When this was reported to the Imaam he ruled that the Salaat had to be repeated. Was his ruling correct?
Answer
The first two aayats of Surah Mulk are almost thrice the size of Surah Kauthar in length. Hence, the Waajib requisite was adequately fulfilled. There is no need to repeat the Salaat. The Imaam who called for repetition is in error.
