Question
The muqtadi misses Jalsah with the Imaam. When the Imaam is going into the second Sajdah, the muqtadi comes out from the first Sajdah, then sits in Jalsah, then only makes the second Sajdah. Is his Salaat valid? The Imaam recites the Tasbeeh in Sajdah 7 times. He does not rush in the Sajdah.
Answer
It is Makrooh and not permissible for the muqtadi to delay so inordinately that he lags behind the Imaam so much that he misses the Jalsah with the Imaam. However, although his action is not permissible, his Salaat remains valid. Lagging behind without a valid reason is sinful.
