The status of the one who joins the prayer late when the imam is in the state of 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 creeping forward in bowing, the imam raises his head. Did he catch the bowing? The answer is yes. In that case, when the imam raises his head, he also raises his head while walking step by step, not walking with the stride of a walker, because the prayer should have that form indicated by the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the complete benefit.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh. And if, Shaykh, the row is in the direction opposite the qiblah, and he enters from the side door, does he creep toward the qiblah, or does he...?
The Shaykh : Toward the qiblah. But let us assume I entered here and the imam is here in the middle, but the empty row is over there. So I walk like this, without turning my chest away from the qiblah. That is, instead of walking this way, I walk this way or this way, depending on... The important thing is not to turn my chest away from the qiblah.
The questioner : In the wording of a copy... of the manuscript, it says that he bowed behind the row, and then it is counted?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is attached to the rak'ah.
The questioner : If you allow me, if he bowed behind the row and did not walk until he reached the row...
The Shaykh : And then we see the end, for indeed deeds are judged by their endings, and then...
The questioner : Then he raised his head and continued.
The Shaykh : And why did he do it this way! If he did it out of ignorance, we say he caught it, but he committed a violation.
The questioner : If he did it intentionally, it falls under...
The Shaykh : A violation, yes.
...and upon you is calmness and composure
