What to recite when joining the Imaam in rukoo
Question
I would like to know if I get the Imam in Ruku in Jamat, should I read Surah Fatiha first after takbir then go to Ruku or should I go to Ruku directly?
Answer
The muqtadi will not recite qiraat behind the Imaam in all the rakaats. Hence, after commencing the salaah, if the Imaam is in ruku, you should not recite Surah Faatiha, but rather you should immediately join the Imaam in ruku.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
