Question:
Please, Ali from al-Kharj, come up to the microphone. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace and Allah’s mercy. Peace be upon you. Shaykh, please. May Allah welcome you. If I catch up with the imam while he is bowing, in the bowing and prostration, do I recite the opening supplication, or do I join him, or do I join him in his position?
Answer:
If you come and the imam is bowing, say the takbir of ihram while standing, and then when you say the takbir of ihram, you bend down to bow and do not delay behind him in order to recite the opening supplication. Yes. May Allah reward you, thank you, my dear brother.
