Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is obligatory regarding catching the congregation in prayer? Is it the takbir of ihram with the imam, or catching the first rak'ah? In other words, is the one who consistently delays the takbir of ihram and catches the first rak'ah sinful for doing so?
Answer:
He is sinful for his delay. Why does he delay? Why does he deliberately delay until the end of the prayer or the middle of it, not attending until then?
