Question:
If the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) catches up with the imam while he is in prostration, should he wait until the imam rises, or should he join him?
Answer:
It is better for him to say the takbir (saying Allahu akbar) of entering prayer while standing, then lower himself into prostration with the imam so that he achieves following the imam, following the imam. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
