Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We in Umrah and someone told my mum that when praying behind imam, they should follow the mukabbir i.e. go in ruku, sajdah etc. on the mukabbir\u2019s takbeer and not the imam\u2019s takbeer.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They should be following the imam\u2019s takbir. Is that right?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Imam is a leader and a guide in the congregational prayer ensuring that the salah is done properly with the right postures in sequence. The Imam is appointed so that he be followed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Muqtadi is one following the Imam. Before starting the salah, one will make intention following the Imam. As soon as the Imam starts the salah, the Muqtadi will follow him.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Takbir of the Imam should be loud for the Muqtadi to know that the salah has started and it also indicates moving from one posture to another posture.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, in large gatherings or if the voice of the Imam is weak, then one of the Muqtadis will repeat the takbir out loud. If there is no need, the repetition will be abandoned.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the hadith in Sahih Muslim mentions:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah \ufdfa was ill and we said prayer behind him and he was sitting. And Abu Bakr was making audible to the people his takbir.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, when a person is in the Haram joining the congregational salah, one will follow the takbir of the Imam as it can be heard clearly from the speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
