What is the ruling on a ma'mum bowing before the row while he is crawling until he reaches the row?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Our teacher, if you please, bowing before the row?
The Shaykh: In any case, meaning if the situation you are imagining occurs, there is no harm in it, but my mind cannot conceive of such a situation, yes.
The questioner : I mean this...
The Shaykh: It is possible to bow outside the row at the first door of the mosque if it is on the left, and crawl while you are bowing, meaning you join the imam in his bowing while you are outside the row.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And you crawl, walking with him until you join the row.
The questioner: I walk while I am bowing.
The Shaykh: And you are bowing; this is the meaning of crawling in the Arabic language.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: The command is not to walk as a normal, upright person, as you are.
The questioner: Its meaning is here... you were not there when I said "Allahu ma' man hamidah" and I completed the walking.
The Shaykh: Ah, you complete the walking, of course.
The questioner: Even if the distance is long.
The Shaykh: Even if it is long.
The questioner: At the end, in 'Umar's mosque, it will be - for example - the main door.
The Shaykh: This is 'Umar's mosque, you studied there too.
The questioner: Yes, you attended your lessons from thirteen years ago in 'Umar's mosque... the incident...Sunan Abi Dawud 683Sahih (Al-Albani).
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you, I gave the news about the women's door.
The questioner: ... meaning what is this talk about... .
The Shaykh: What is it?
The questioner:Sunan Abi Dawud 683Sahih (Al-Albani) to this action, meaning to the delay, or to this method?
The Shaykh: No, the method we spoke about is not taken from the hadith itself, but from the hadith is taken his eagerness, his running to catch up with the imam while he is bowing. So this speed is what is prohibited. It is said his intention is good, but his action is not good. His intention is to catch up with the imam while he is bowing so that he does not miss a rak'ah, which is a good thing. But his hastening in the way of catching up is a mistake, because it contradicts his saying - peace and blessings be upon him - :.
The questioner : So...
The Shaykh: So the wise Lawgiver, through the tongue of his noble Prophet, made an exit for this one who hopes to catch up with the bowing with the imam. He told him: bow where you are, then crawl, walk.
The questioner: What is the authenticity of this hadith?
The Shaykh: The text from the Sunnah is traced in some of my books, I do not know.
The questioner: Al-Silsilah, Part One.
The Shaykh: It is possible from the Sunnah that if one enters the mosque and the imam is bowing, and he fears that he will miss a rak'ah, that he crawls, says takbir where he is, and crawls while bowing until he joins the row.

May Allah increase your eagerness! But do not do it again.
زادك الله حرصًا ولا تَعُدْThe Shaykh: May Allah reward you, I gave the news about the women's door.

When you come to the prayer, come to it with calmness and composure, and do not come to it while running; whatever you catch up with, pray, and whatever you miss, complete.
