Delaying Behind the Imam in the Takbir of Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: There are some who delay in... in, he says, they delay behind the imam in the takbirat al-ihram. He says: We want guidance or a statement on the virtue of the takbirat al-ihram?

Answer:
What is the reason for the delay? He should not lag behind the imam; rather, he should say the takbir after the imam has finished. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When he says the takbir, you say itإذا كبر فكبروا
The takbir of ihram and the rest of the actions are to follow the imam, because
The Imam is appointed to be followed, so when he says the takbir, say the takbirإنما جعل الإمام ليؤتم به، فإذا كبر فكبروا
Sunan an-Nasa'i 921Sahih (Darussalam)
and do not say the takbir until he says it, so follow the imam in the takbir of ihram and in the rest of the actions, and do not lag behind him. Yes.
