What is the ruling of the great religion if an imam recites a verse of sajda and with the intention of sajda did ruku, while in the back his followers, after hearing the verse of sajda went straight into sajda and when the imam raised from the ruku they realized their mistake and came back to join the imam in his qiyam. These people lost their ruku and they said Salam with the imam at the end. What is the ruling on such a prayer?
Performance of ruku is obligatory in the prayer; hence if it’s missed the prayer ought to be repeated.
