Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : My father.

The questioner : ... speaking for the sake of the prayer's interest?

The Shaykh : No, I mean intentionally?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.

The questioner : ... Glory be to Allah, he did not understand...

The Shaykh : No, it is said:
O you who have believed, say not [to Allah 's Messenger], "Ra'ina" but say, "Unthurna" and listen. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment. يا أيها الذين آمنوا فاركعوا واسجدوا
[Al-Baqarah 2:104]


The questioner : He did not understand...

The Shaykh : He did not understand; the one behind him moves forward and bends his back.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, because if he said "bow down," his prayer would be invalid; the prayer of the one who said it would be invalid. May you be safe.
