The answer

The Imam bears responsibility for any inadvertent error (sahw) committed by the congregant (ma'mum) as long as the latter is following him, except for the omission of a complete rak'ah, a prostration (sajdah), the opening takbir (takbirat al-ihram), or the salutation (taslim). It is obligatory for the congregant not to precede the Imam in bowing (ruku') or other actions.
