Permissibility of Abandoning Sūrah If One Knows He Will Not Reach Imam’s Ruku‘
Issue No. 1259- If a person joins the imam when he is in the third or fourth rak‘at, he should recite sūrah al-Fātiḥa and the sūrah, and if he does not have time for the sūrah he should complete sūrah al-fātiḥa and then join the imam in rukū‘. Anyhow, the sūrah al-Fātiḥa and the sūrah must be recited in whispering manner.
