Question
Our Imaam moves into the next position after having completed the Takbir. The Muqtadis become confused. They begin changing positions when they hear the Imaam announcing the Takbir. While the Muqtadis begin to change their positions, the Imaam is still standing. Is the Salaat valid? Is this method of the Imaam correct?
Answer
The method of reciting the Takbir by the Imaam is Makrooh and not permissible. Nevertheless the Salaat is valid since both the Imaam and Muqtadis are together in Ruku and Sajdah despite the slight difference created by the Imaam's improper delay in moving simultaneously with his Takbir.
