Is it permissible for a wife to stop praying behind her husband if he rushes his recitation to the extent that she cannot complete the recitation of Al-Fatiha or the recitation of a Surah after Al-Fatiha?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The husband should be advised to perform prayers in congregation at the mosque due to its virtue. If he insists on praying at home, he should be advised to pray with humility and contemplation. If he continues to pray hastily, the wife should pray alone, noting that reciting a surah after Al-Fatiha is a sunnah, not a pillar (rukn).
