The criterion for catching the bowing with the imam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the criterion for catching the bowing with the imam in prayer?

Answer:
If he says the takbir, bends down, and his hands reach his knees before the imam rises, he has caught the bowing. Be aware: if he says the takbir, bends down, and his hands reach his knees before the imam rises, he has caught the bowing, and he is required to complete the bowing and catch up with the imam. Yes.
