As for Fajr, it is recommended to hasten its performance. If the Imam's delay of Asr prayer causes hardship to the congregants, he should consider their circumstances and gathering, and allow a suitable time between the and that accommodates their situation. If the Imam's delay is harmful to the congregants, this can be gently and respectfully explained to him.
