The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
A man came to the prayer and the imam was in ruku', so he said the takbir of ihram. Is he required to say another takbir?
The Shaykh : The scholars say: If one catches the imam in ruku', he says the takbir of ihram and then goes into ruku'. If he says the takbir for ruku', that is better, and if he does not say it, there is no blame on him.
