Ruling on the latecomer bowing while the imam is rising
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person enters and the imam has already bowed, and then he bows as the imam is rising?
Answer:
If he catches the bowing before the imam rises, it counts. If the imam rises before he has settled into the bowing position, it does not count, and he must make it up. However, if he has settled into the bowing position before the imam rises, it counts, and the imam’s rising does not harm him. As for if he is just beginning to lower himself while the imam is rising, it does not count, and he must make it up.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
