Bowing before completing the standing in order to catch up with the rak'ah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man wants to catch up with the imam for the rak'ah, so he bowed quickly while he had not yet fully straightened up in standing. Is his bowing invalid?

Answer:
Yes, the takbir of ihram must be done while standing, and then he bows. As for if he bent down and said the takbir while bent, it is not valid. Yes. And what makes him hurry? What makes him hurry? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
and pray whatever you get (with the people) and complete the rest which you have missedما أدركتم فصلوا وما فاتكم فأتموا
Sahih al-Bukhari 635
. Yes.
