Q: Should the Muqtadi (follower) not start making dua before Imam after Fardh Salaah? Should the Imam inform muqtadees about his dua by starting it with a loud voice or he should starts his dua silently? If one has finished his dua before the Imam, should he wait untill the Imam finishes or should he stand up to offer sunnah (if there are sunnahs after that fardh salah)?
A: The muqtadi may commence his dua before the imam and finish before or after the imam. The imam may commence his dua with sound or without sound. The muqtadi may stand up and make his sunnats even if the imam had not as yet finished his dua.
