The questioner : A man who was praying with the imam, meaning a ma'mum, was lagging behind; he did not stand up after the imam's takbir. Is that acceptable, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Why is he lagging behind?
The questioner : Allah knows best. Whether the imam said the takbir to stand up from the first prostration, and he did not stand up, and remained prostrating until the imam said the takbir to go down to the second prostration; what is the ruling on his prayer?
