Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The ma'mum's imam bowed while he had not yet finished al-Fatihah. Does he follow him or complete it?
Answer:
If he completes al-Fatihah and catches up with him, there is nothing wrong with that. But if the imam raises his head before he has finished al-Fatihah, he bows even if he has not finished al-Fatihah. The imam's recitation is sufficient. Yes.
