It is best not to follow the imams through the television or through the internet or through

the radio and so on. And there is another opinion and we respect all opinions, but the reason why I am also one of those who holds the opinion that

if you cannot make Salah with Jammah in the masjid, then do your Salah with Jammah in the home.

And if you cannot do the Salah with Jammah in your home because you don't have the number or you don't have anyone to do it with then read it alone in the home.

So these are the different categories shown to us by the Prophet Salah.

Now if you look at for example following a television, number one there is a delay.

Sometimes the delay can be up to 20 seconds depending on where you're living, how fast the speed is and

many other factors who even the weather and depending on what device or apparatus you're listening to.

So the Imam would already have finished his for example Rukur and you are still busy standing because you can still hear him reading the Surah.

For example, so there is a delay. Sometimes the delay is smaller. Sometimes it's a very short delay, but still the sofuf or the lines that are meant to be filled are not being filled.

One might argue that okay maybe we might want to waive that. I believe that you only waive it when it's absolutely necessary and you are the most sullies of that particular masjid.

You know when you go to a masjid Al Haram in Makkah to Namukarra Ma and they leave a few gaps and some of them are reading a bit further back sometimes even within a building at the times of Hajj and so on.

Because of that being massive you're still following the same masjid right in front of you and it is there in front of you and you are not in front of the Imam in terms of Kibla and you're following him and it is there.

You know it's not another masjid somewhere else and you are at the masjid it's just that there is a large number and that's the reason.

So if you are going to follow it from a distance I've already given you two things number one is a delay number two is the issue of the sofuf number three is something interesting.

Do you know where the Kibla is? So the Imam has to always be Imam. Imam is in the front. Imam has to stand in the front right.

So when you are following him from somewhere in your suburb or somewhere in another city and I was asked this by people who were following an Imam in a totally different city.

The problem is that Imam you may be a thousand kilometers in front of them and the Kibla is further away from him so your Imam is behind you one thousand kilometers.

I mean what salah is that which which hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would allow you to have any Imam a thousand case behind you.

You know so rather than that and like I say this is a discussion that is open this is my opinion and I'm not belittling other opinions but I'm letting you know why I'm saying if you cannot do it one way according to the Sunnah do it another way according to the same Sunnah.

And do it a third way according to the same Sunnah like when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says
