Question Regarding Quran Recitation In Fard Prayer
This is a matter of Ijtihad, therefore more than one opinion is there. Some think that one gets a rakat if one finds Ruku, one should stand a little to fulfill the obligation of standing and then join in the Ruku. The recitation of the Imam suffices for him. The other opinion says that an essential portion of the prayer is missed, therefore one should repeat the rakat. I go with the second opinion.
