Ruling on the follower getting ahead of the imam in any part of the prayer without intention
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener (Z. R. T) says: If the follower gets ahead of the imam in bowing, or prostrating, or rising from them without intention, does the unit of prayer become invalid, or what is required of him?
Answer:
If he gets ahead of him without intention, the unit of prayer does not become invalid, but he should return and bow after him. If he rises before him in bowing and prostrating, and then he notices, he should return and bow with him, or after him, until he bows after him. He owes nothing for the sake of ignorance. However, if he did this intentionally, he is playing with [his prayer], and his prayer becomes invalid. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
