When should the muqtadi commence his salaah with the Imaam?
Question
I would like to know that when should we begin salaah with the imaam, after takbeer in namaz or before namaz. Can a person do itteba of imaam when he makes the niyat?
Answer
One can only join the salaah after the imaam commences the salaah. The Imaam's salaah commences with the takbeer.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
