Shaykh bin Baaz (RH) was asked:
Is One Takbeer Sufficient When You Meet the Imaam in Rukoo’ Position?
He answered as follows:
“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 & 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 raka’ah according to most scholars.”
A group among the past scholars like Imam az-Zuhree, Sa’eed bin al-Musayyib, al-Awzaa’ee and Maalik (May Allah be pleased with them) declared that one takbeer suffices for the like of this situation.
