When does the ma'mum stand for the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: When does the ma'mum stand for the prayer? Does he stand when he hears the iqamah? Or when he sees the imam? Or when does he stand?

Answer:
The correct view is that he stands when the imam stands for the prayer. When the imam moves forward to the mihrab, he stands. Yes. Because this is the time of need. As for standing while the imam has not yet arrived or has not yet moved forward to the mihrab, there is no need for that. But if he stands, there is nothing wrong with it. However, it is better that he does not stand until he sees that the imam has moved forward to lead the prayer.
