Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man entered the prayer and had not yet reached the row. While walking to the row, he bowed, and he continued walking in a state of bowing until he reached his row. Is this walking and this action permissible for him?
Answer:
This is the story of Abu Bakrah. This is in accordance with the hadith of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved. Yes. However, he should hasten rather than delay, so that he hastens to the prayer. But if he did this, there is no blame on him, as long as he entered the row and was in the bowing position, there is no blame on him. Yes.
