The ruling on bowing twice by mistake, thinking the imam has bowed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the imam led us in prayer and recited a verse containing a prostration, and we were in the second row and did not see the imam, so we did not prostrate. We bowed in error on our part, thinking that he had bowed, and then he bowed, so we bowed again. What is the ruling on our prayer?
Answer:
Your prayer is valid, if Allah wills, as long as you bowed with the imam and you performed the pillar. The first bowing was an error, so it does not harm. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
