Does the Imam say the takbir and rise to complete the recitation after the prostration of recitation, or does he perform the prostration of the rak'ah thereafter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is prescribed for the worshipper, if he recites a verse of prostration during prayer, to prostrate. He should say "Allahu Akbar" when prostrating and when rising from it, then stand. He has the choice: if he wishes, he may complete the recitation then bow, or if he wishes, he may bow immediately.
