What is the ruling on women following the imam in the prostration of recitation without seeing him?

Question : This is Umm Abdullah. She says: In the 'Isha' prayer yesterday, you said takbir for the prostration of recitation, and we women were bowing. When you said takbir to rise from the prostration, we understood that the takbir was for the prostration, so we followed you until the taslim. We did not perform the prostration for forgetfulness, nor did we repeat the prayer. The question is: Is what we did valid? If it is not valid, what is obligatory for us in such a situation, and what is required of us now?

Answer : First, you must know, Umm Abdullah, and the women with you, that it is our custom not to distinguish with takbir between bowing and prostration, and between standing and sitting, as we understand this to be the Sunnah. However, in the prostration of recitation, considering that there are women who do not see the people, we prolong the takbir, meaning we say Allahu Akbar as a sign that we have descended. If you had understood this rule, following the imam would have been easier for you. As for what happened, there is nothing required of you due to the excuse and ignorance. Otherwise, the obligation would have been that when you understood we had prostrated while you were bowing, and then we stood up, you should have stood up from bowing and then bowed with us. Although it can be understood from her statement that she bowed with us. If she did bow, there is no problem. If she did not bow and continued in her bowing, this is a precedence to a pillar with an excuse, so the prayer is valid.
