The questioner : If the worshiper enters the prayer while the imam is in bowing, does the takbir for bowing suffice for the takbir of entering prayer?
The Shaykh : If the worshiper enters the prayer while the imam is in bowing, the takbir for bowing does not suffice for the takbir of entering prayer, but the takbir of entering prayer does suffice for the takbir for bowing. It is necessary for him to say the takbir for entering prayer while standing before he bends down; he should say "Allahu Akbar" and then bow. If it is easy for him to say the takbir a second time for bowing, that is more complete. If it is not easy for him, he owes nothing. This is what the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said.
