How is the takbir of ihram performed if the worshiper enters the prayer while the imam is bowing?
The Shaykh:
He says the takbir of entering prayer while standing upright, then he bends down for ruku'. If he says the takbir of transition or the takbir of ruku', that is better. If he omits it, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) in this situation.
The presenter:
What Allah willed.
The Shaykh:
Yes, but the takbir of ihram is obligatory, and its place is while standing, before he straightens up. Yes.
