When should the Imaam commence the Takbeer for ruku and sajdah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: At what stage should the Imaam commence reciting the Takbeer when going into ruku and sajdah? Should he commence as he changes posture or is it permissible for him to recite this Takbeer after going into ruku or sajdah? 

Bismillaah

A: According to the Hanafi Mazhab, the Imaam should commence the takbeer from the time he starts going down for ruku and sajdah and he should end the takbeer when he reaches the position of  ruku and sajdah. This Takbeer is called takbeer-e-intiqaaliyah. 

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

باب ما جاء في التكبير عند الركوع والسجود – حدثنا قتيبة حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن أبي إسحق عن عبد الرحمن بن الأسود عن علقمة ​والأسود عن عبد الله بن مسعود قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يكبر في كل خفض ورفع وقيام وقعود و أبو بكر وعمر قالوفي الباب عن أبي هريرة و أنس و ابن عمر و أبي مالك الأشعري و أبي موسى و عمران بن حصين و وائل بن حجر و ابن عباس قال أبو عيسى حديث عبد الله بن مسعود حديث حسن صحيح والعمل عليه عند أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم منهم أبو بكر و عمر و عثمان و علي وغيرهم ومن بعدهم من التابعين وعليه عامة الفقهاء والعلماء. حدثنا عبد الله بن منير قال سمعت علي بن الحسين قال أخبرنا عبد الله بن المبارك عن ابن جريج عن الزهري عن أبي بكر بن عبد الرحمن عن أبي هريرة أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم كان يكبر وهو يهوي قال أبو عيسى هذا حديث حسن صحيح وهو قول أهل العلم من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم ومن بعدهم من التابعين وقالوا يكبر الرجل وهو يهوي للركوع والسجود (ترمذي رقم 253)

( ثمّ ) كما فرغ (يكبّر) مع الإنحطاط (للركوع) للتمكن

قال شامي: (قوله مع الإنحطاط) أفاد أنّ السنّة كون إبتداء التكبير عن الخرور و إنتهاءه عند إستواء الظهر (رد المحتار 1/493)

Random Q&A

About 2 years ago I had very severe problems with doubts in taharah and salat. AlhamduLillah, these times are far away, and I feel myself much more comfortable. But unfortunately now I suffer from some new doubts which appeared recently. The first problem is regarding materials which doesn’t penetrate water. Before wudhu I’m in doubt whether there are some of them on my heels and near nails. For example, if I have few yarns stuck to my heels, I don’t know whether they are synthetic ones (which don’t penetrate water) or not. Because there are just a few yarns, I can’t advocate whether they penetrate water or not. Also sometimes I find hair stuck to my nails or heels, and again I’m in doubt whether it penetrates water or not. Also if I have some dirt, I’m also in doubt whether it contains some small amount of water-not-penetrating materials. So, my wudhu becomes quite a long procedure, where I try to look at my heels and nails thoroughly trying to remove all the dirt, yarns, stuck pieces of hair. The second problem is in washing my face. I know that we can’t wash one limb with water which was used for washing another limb. So the doubt is as follows: if washing the face my palms will touch hair, I start to think, that on my hands there is water which was used washing my hair, not the face, so I wash my hands, and continue washing the face with new water. The other problem is that I don’t know what part of eyes should I wash – I understand that we don’t need to wash eyes themselves, but what’s about the red area which is near roots of eyelashes (above, under, right and left to eyes)?
