Doubt about catching the bowing with the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) joins the imam while he is in ruku' (bowing), and he is unsure whether he caught the ruku' with the imam or not, what is required of him?
Answer:
He has missed a rak'ah, so he performs a rak'ah after the imam completes the prayer safely, because he is not certain that he caught the rak'ah with the imam, so he performs a rak'ah. This is the ruling for this imam. Yes.
