Delaying the takbir for moving from prostration to standing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some imams, when they rise from prostration, do not say the takbir of transition from prostration until they are fully standing, and then they say the takbir.
Answer:
This is a mistake, this is a mistake. The takbirs of transition between the pillars are the transition from one pillar to another, so they are to be said between the two pillars, and one does not delay them until entering the second pillar. This is a mistake. But if he does it out of ignorance or forgetfulness, there is no harm. But if he does it intentionally, this is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes. He does not say the takbir when he places his forehead on the ground; this is a mistake. He does not say the takbir when he is fully standing; this is a mistake. Rather, it is between the two pillars: he says the takbir while descending into prostration, and he says the takbir while rising.
