Is One Takbeer Sufficient When You Meet the Imaam in Rukoo’ Position?


Shaykh bin Baaz stated: “What is preferred and to be on the safe side is to say two takbeers: one of them is takbeeratul-Ihraam, which is a pillar and it is essential to do it while standing. The second is the takbeer of bowing, one should do it while going for rukoo’. But if a person fears missing the rak’ah, takbeeratul-Ihraam suffices according to the most authoritative view among the scholars. This is because they are two acts of worship, which came together at the same time. The major one suffices for the minor one; and this suffices for this rak’ah according to most scholars.” End of quote

A group among the past scholars like az-Zuhree, Sa’eed bin al-Musayyib, al-Awzaa’ee and Maalik declared that one takbeer suffices for the like of this situation.
