Bending for prostration before the imam's forehead reaches the ground
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the ma'mum begins to bow before the imam's forehead reaches the ground during prostration, is he considered to be racing ahead of the imam?
Answer:
Yes, it is considered a precursor to racing ahead. Do not bow until the imam places his forehead on the ground. Do not say the takbir until he says it and places his forehead on the ground. What is rushing you, my brother? Be patient; it is a reward for you, and your prayer will be complete. Yes.
