The distance may be long between the place where he bows and the row, and while he is crawling in bowing, the imam raises his head; did he catch the bowing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The distance may be long between the place where he bows and the row, and while he is crawling in bowing, the imam raises his head; did he catch the bowing?
Answer: Yes, in that case, when the imam raises his head, he raises his head and walks step by step, not walking like a normal walker; because the prayer should have that form indicated by the hadith of Abu Hurayrah:
And be with tranquility and dignity وعليكم بالسكينة والوقار
, like this, for the sake of completeness.

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, and if the row is full, and it is in the direction opposite the qiblah; he entered from the side door; does he crawl toward the qiblah, or what?

The Shaykh : Toward the qiblah, but let us assume, for example, let us assume I entered here, and the imam is here in the middle, but the empty row is there, so I walk like this, I do not turn my chest away from the qiblah; meaning, instead of walking like this, I walk like this, or like this depending on the situation, the important thing is that I do not turn my chest away from the qiblah.

The questioner : In the wording of the manuscript copy... it says he bowed behind the row and then counts it?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is... following the rak'ah.

The questioner : Yes, also if you allow me; if he bowed and did not crawl; he bowed behind the row and did not walk until he reached the row; did he catch it?

The Shaykh : Yes, and then? Let us see the end of
Indeed, actions are by intentions إنما الأعمال بالنِّيَّات
, excuse me:
Deeds are only by their endings إنما الأعمال بالخواتيم
, and then?

The questioner : Then he raised his head and continued with himself...

The Shaykh : And why did he do this?

The questioner : He did it, meaning.

The Shaykh : If he did it out of ignorance, we say: he caught it, but he committed a violation.

The questioner : Yes, but if it was intentional, it falls under... the one praying behind the row.

The Shaykh : It is... yes.
