Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a ma'mum prays behind an imam and attends the rak'ah from its beginning, and then the imam bows before the ma'mum has finished reciting al-Fatihah, does the ma'mum complete the surah, or does he stop and bow with the imam?
Answer:
If he would miss the bowing, he bows, even if he has not completed al-Fatihah. But if he will not miss the bowing, he completes al-Fatihah.
