The Takbir of Ihram for One Who Catches the Imam in Ruku'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last one says: Shaykh Salih, am I required to perform the takbir of ihram if I enter the prayer while the imam is bowing or prostrating, or do I follow the imam directly without performing the takbir of ihram?
Answer:
My brother, the takbir of ihram is necessary, and the prayer is not valid without it. You perform it while standing. Then, once you have said the takbir, you sit with the imam, or prostrate with him, or bow with him, but you must perform the takbir of ihram while standing. It is necessary because it is a pillar of the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
