Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if the ma'mum catches the imam in prostration, does he wait until he rises, or does he enter with him?
Answer:
He enters with him; that is better so he may share in the reward. He enters with him in whatever state the imam is in when he arrives, and he remains with him in that state, as stated in the athar (report from a Companion or successor). He does not wait and miss out on the reward. Yes.
