The Takbir of Ihram for One Who Catches the Imam in Ruku'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a worshipper comes and the imam is in ruku'.
The Shaykh:
It may be written.
The questioner:
As for the takbir of ihram, does he intend it for ihram or for ruku'?
The Shaykh:
He says it while standing. Then the second takbir, which is for ruku', is a recommended practice (sunnah) in this position; in this position it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If he wishes, he says it, and if he wishes, he limits himself to the takbir of ihram.
