The questioner : Finally, the questioner asks: The saying of the imam, "Allahu Akbar" or "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah," regarding the imam or the follower: is it like the bowing or the prostration? Is it at the first movement, or when he has fully bowed or fully prostrated, or at the halfway point of the movement? And how is that in the other movements?
The Shaykh : The scholars say that the takbirs of transition and the saying "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah" occur between the two pillars, whether one begins them at the moment of movement or during the movement. The important thing is that they occur between the two pillars, meaning one does not begin saying "Allahu Akbar" before starting to bend, nor saying "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah" before starting to rise.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, esteemed Shaykh, and may Allah bless you.
