Question

I was praying behind imam in fajr salah and imam was in qiyam doing qirat. I mistakenly thought of him going into ruku and opened both my hands to goto ruku. I realized he is not going into ruku and joined both hands again in qiyam. Is my salah valid?

Answer

Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,

The salah is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best,
