The Ruling on Differences in Prayer in the Hanafi School
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I went to one of the countries and saw a difference in the way they pray. Among these matters is aligning the rows before the iqamah, and the imam saying the takbir immediately after the iqamah or before its end. After rising from the bowing and prostrating, the imam prostrates quickly. What is your opinion on these differences? And did they occur in the Hanafi school as they claim?
The Shaykh:
When the prayer is established, as we mentioned previously, if the imam is outside the mosque and the prayer is established by the imam's order, meaning he takes the order from the imam, he orders someone to establish it while he is on the road or in the house, near the mosque, in the mosque's house, then he orders and decides for the people, this is a required matter. As for him bowing, that he exits, immediately when he raises his head, this is a mistake, even if it is according to the opinion of al-Hakim, this is a mistake, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me in his prayerSunan Ibn Majah 1060Sahih (Darussalam), this indicates that tranquility in all the pillars, including standing after the bowing, is a pillar of the prayer.
The proof is in what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as for the independent legal reasoning of some jurists, it is a matter of consideration. We do not accept what contradicts [the evidence], if our Shaykh said
The questioner:
He also says that the iqamah with them is like the adhan, and an addition of "the prayer has begun," meaning seventeen phrases. And caution.
The Shaykh:
I am speaking about the iqamah. We do not know this. The adhan has a difference in the takbir twice at its beginning, in those who see this, in those who see upon it the four matters of the takbirs. Yes, it is known. That the two testimonies, that the preference is to say it for a month, then say it for a month. The famous adhan is what was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. The adhan of the land. This is the adhan. What is the adhan of al-Mushshar in Makkah, this is one of the forms of the adhan, but the famous one is the adhan with that, so whoever calls the adhan like the adhan of al-Mushshar, there is no harm in that,
The questioner:
Before. Either after the iqamah or before its end, if Allah wills.

until you can feel at ease bowing. Then stand up until you feel at ease standing
