"Based on the opinion that the takbirat al-intiqal (transition takbirat) are obligatory: if the worshipper begins the takbir before descending for ruku' (bowing) and completes it upon reaching ruku', the Hanbali school holds that it is not sufficient. However, Al-Mardawi and Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin corrected this view, stating that it is sufficient. Therefore, your prayer is valid, and there is nothing against you."
