The questioner : ... the second rak'ah.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : If he is in the second rak'ah, if he completes it, he may miss the virtue, which is the takbirat al-ihram with the imam ...?
The Shaykh : It does no harm; that is, if he misses the takbirat al-ihram with the imam, it does not harm him, because if we were to say, "Cut it off," and he had already caught it before the time of prohibition for it began, he would have invalidated his work, and it is not permissible to invalidate the work. Yes?
