Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner, Abu Rami from Jeddah, says: What is the ruling on overtaking the imam in prayer? Some people, Honorable Shaykh, prostrate before the imam or raise their heads, and so on. What is the ruling on one who prays behind the imam in this manner?
Answer:
If he does so intentionally and does not return to perform the prostration after the imam, or the bowing after the imam, and he does so intentionally and does not return to perform it after the imam, his prayer is invalid. However, if he did not do so intentionally and realizes that he bowed and prostrated before the imam, it is obligatory for him to raise his head and to bow and prostrate after the imam, and his prayer is valid. Yes.
