The ruling for the followers if they prostrate while the imam is bowing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man led the people in the Maghrib prayer with a surah that contains a prostration of recitation at its end. Then he bowed, and some of the followers prostrated while others bowed. What should the one who prostrated do?
Those who prostrated, once they realize that he is bowing, should rise from their prostration and bow with him.If they do not realize it until after he says: When he says, "May Allah hear the one who praises Him," they should also rise and bow, then follow their imam;Because the rule is: If a follower lags behind the imam by a pillar or more due to an excuse, he should perform it and catch up with his imam.
The questioner: Do those who prostrated while the imam was bowing have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, or not?The Shaykh: They have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness if they missed something of the prayer. If they did not miss anything of the prayer, they do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, because the imam bears that responsibility for them.
