Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a man said the takbir with the imam many times, and he continued with the imam without saying the takbir again. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
He said the takbir with the imam, the takbir of ihram, meaning while in the state of ruku'. Yes.
The questioner:
He did not say the takbir before the imam.
The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.
The questioner:
A man said the takbir before the imam, the takbir of ihram, and continued with the imam without saying the takbir.
The Shaykh:
His prayer is invalid. The one who says the takbir before the imam and does not repeat the takbir of ihram after the imam, his prayer is invalid, because he entered the prayer before the imam, and that invalidates his prayer.
