Waiting for one who enters with the imam in bowing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If you arrive and the imam is returning from bowing and the row is complete, do I enter with the imam into the gap in the second row? I know that some people will come and enter the row, or do I wait until the imam prostrates?
Answer:
If you hope that someone will come, you wait, even if the imam bows in the first rak'ah, until the one who prays and stands up with you arrives. Yes.
