He finished reciting al-Fatihah and the imam has not bowed, so what does he do?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In the third or fourth rak'ah, I have finished reciting al-Fatihah and the imam has not yet bowed. Do I repeat the recitation of al-Fatihah, or do I recite another surah?
Answer: You recite whatever is easy for you, or you remain silent, and you do not repeat al-Fatihah. You recite whatever is easy for you, a verse or two verses, or you remain silent until he says takbir.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
The presenter: Likewise, in the tashahhud, if you have finished the tashahhud and the imam has not stood up to come for the third rak'ah?
The Shaykh: You send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and you stand, or you repeat the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or you repeat the tahiyyat.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
