The Criterion for Catching Up a Rak'ah Behind the Imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does one catch up a rak'ah? And what is the criterion for catching up a rak'ah, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Catching up a rak'ah means being behind the imam. If you reach the position where his hands are on his knees while he is bowing in ruku', then you have caught up the rak'ah. You complete your ruku', recite the tasbih, and then rise. However, if the imam raises his head before his hands reach his knees, then you have missed the ruku'.
