Some of the worshippers catch the imam while he is in ruku'?
If a latecomer enters the prayer while the imam is in ruku', it is obligatory for him to say the takbirat al-ihram while standing. Then, regarding the takbirat al-ruku', he may say it or he may not; in this case, the takbirat al-ruku' is recommended. This is what the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said.
