Q 2: I entered the Masjid (mosque) while the Imam was performing Ruku` (bowing), and I pronounced Takbirat-ul-Ihram (saying: "Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]" upon starting Prayer). But after doing so,
The Imam stood erect before I pronounced takbir for Ruku'. Did I complete the Rak`ah (unit of prayer) or should I have repeated it
after the Imam pronounced Taslim (salutation of peace ending the Prayer)?
A:
If you did not offer Ruku` before the Imam stood, then you did not catch the Rak`ah; because the Rak`ah is not only counted by pronouncing Takbirat-ul-Ihram, but also by bowing before the Imam stands from Ruku`.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
