The Imam and the people stand up for the second Rak‘at and he also stands up with them, then the Imam performs Ruku‘, but he cannot perform Ruku‘ in the second Rak‘at because of crowd but he performs Sajdah (prostration). What is he required to perform?’Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said that the first Rak‘at is complete in Ruku‘. He did not perform Sajdah (prostration) until the second Rak‘at, this he has missed. He has performed Sajdah (prostration) in the second Rak‘at; if he intended it to be the Sajdah (prostration) for the first Rak‘at, the first Rak‘at becomes complete for him, and when the Imam says Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace), he stands up to performs one Rak‘at.

No other cleaner is a better cleaner on Friday than Nurah.’” (The following chapters are best explained by fatwa.)
