The Takbir of Transition in Prayer

Question:
May Allah reward you? The chapter on Imams: one does not seek forgiveness except when he has settled in his position, and he seeks forgiveness for sitting in it, and it is placed on the ground.

Answer:
It is incorrect to call it the Takbir of Transition. It occurs during the transition from one pillar to another; one says the Takbir during the transition, before entering the pillar to which he is moving. Some scholars ask: How much of the prayer is affected? But the author of *al-Rawd al-Murba'* says that few are free from this, meaning a person may forget or be ignorant. If the prayer were ruled invalid because of this, the prayers of many people would be invalid. However, it is said that this is contrary to what is preferred, contrary to what is required. One should say the Takbir during the transition: when he descends from standing to prostration, he says it during his descent; when he rises from prostration to sitting, he says it during his rising from prostration, and he does not delay it; when he bows, he says it during his descent into bowing. Yes. And so on.
