Question:
If the imam forgets to sit for the first tashahhud and stands up for the third rak'ah, but one of the followers does not notice and sits for the tashahhud, and he does not catch up with the imam until he is in ruku', the question is: does he repeat the rak'ah, or does the imam cover what his follower missed?
Answer:
He bows with the imam, and that is sufficient if he bowed with the imam. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
