Answer

Sheikh said that is very important to pay attention to this, because your salat could be void. In terms of the takbir, you have to pronounce the full takbir until you finish it. You can’t stop at any letter; you have to completely finish it. One of the pillars of prayer is called the ‘standing connection to ruku’ which means you have to be stable and standing before you go to ruku even a second or a small while. And that is very important, if you say the takbir to the last letter and straight away go straight down to ruku’ then your salat is void (jama’a or furada) because you have missed one of the pillars of salat. Therefore, after takbiratol Ihram then you have to be stable, and then perform ruku.
