Catching the Rak'ah for One Who Bows Before the Imam Finishes al-Fatihah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If I enter the prayer with the imam while he is standing, and then he bows, but I have not yet finished reciting al-Fatihah, am I considered to have caught the rak'ah?

Answer:
Yes, without a doubt, because the place for recitation has passed, which is the standing, and that is finished. This is from one aspect. , the matter in this is easy, and praise be to Allah. If you catch the bowing, you have caught the rak'ah. Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) came while the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was bowing, so he bowed before the row, to catch the bowing. Then he crept and entered the row while bowing. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: "Who did this?" Abu Bakrah said: "I did." He said: . That means, do not enter the prayer before you reach the row. And he did not order him to complete this rak'ah; he did not say, "Stand up, you are late, and make up a rak'ah." No, he left him as he was. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
