Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The imam of our mosque does not say the takbir until just before his head touches the ground in prostration, and his action does not coincide with the takbir. What is the ruling on this? Yes? The imam of our mosque does not say the takbir, no, he does not say it, he does not utter the takbir, yes, until just before his head touches the ground in his prostration, so his action does not coincide with the takbir.
Answer:
The takbirs for moving between pillars are said between the two pillars, moving from one pillar to another. When one moves from standing to the pillar of prostration, the takbir is said during that movement while he is lowering himself into prostration. But if he forgets it at times, or is ignorant and says it after he has begun the next pillar, out of ignorance or forgetfulness, there is no harm. Yes.
