What you catch of the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! I heard a mufti on television issuing a fatwa and saying: If you enter the prayer while the imam is in prostration, you should bow and complete your bowing, then catch up with the imam while he is in prostration and prostrate with him, thereby catching the rak'ah?
This fatwa contradicts the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him);Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (When you hear the iqamah, proceed to the prayer with calmness and composure, and do not rush. Whatever you catch, pray, and whatever you miss, complete it) So if one catches the imam in prostration, it is obligatory for him to prostrate with the imam, and it is not permissible for him to make up the bowing before prostrating with the imam;Because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whatever you catch, pray, and whatever you miss, complete it) And this man has missed the bowing, so how can he pray the bowing when he has missed it with the imam? This fatwa is certainly an error, but after the session ends, tell us his name so that we may contact him, if Allah wills, and clarify to him the error of this fatwa.
