Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I enter and the imam is in prostration, and I say the takbir of entering prayer, do I recite the opening supplication, or do I go directly into prostration with him?
Answer:
The takbir of entering prayer, then you go down into prostration. The opening supplication is a recommended practice (sunnah), so you may leave it out. Yes.
