When is the takbir of entering prayer missed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : When does one catch the takbir of entering prayer?
The Shaykh : It is missed if the following is missed. For example, if the imam says Allahu Akbar and you are delayed for a period that breaks the continuity of following him, then the takbir is missed. Accordingly, we do not say that if one begins reciting al-Fatihah, the takbir is missed. No, because a person is commanded to follow immediately. So we say that the takbir of entering prayer is missed if the follower is delayed for a period that breaks the continuity of following. Yes.
