What Do Mudrak, Masbuq, And Lahiq Mean? How Do They Establish Prayers?
What do mudrak, masbuq, and lahiq mean? How do they establish prayers?
The lexical meaning of mudrak is “the one who comprehended, caught, reached”. As a religious term, it refers to the person who establishes prayer with an imam by catching him in the ruku of the first rakat at latest.
Lahiq is a person who starts prayer with imam but has to give a break while in prayer due to a cause such as invalidation of ablution, and fails to establish a part of the prayer with imam. If s/he knows how to do it, such person may continue his prayer by attending congregation again after performing ablution. Such a person completes the missed rakats after the imam gives salam . But if s/he does not know how to continue the prayer in such situation, s/he performs prayer from the beginning.
Masbuq refers to a person who fails to attend prayer in congregation on time but follows an imam some time after the ruku of the first rakat. A person who does not spend time in ruku long enough to say “subhanallah” with imam is deemed to have missed that rakat. After the imam gives salam and if he does not perform sajdah al-sahw, the masbuq stands up and completes the missed rakats alone. Masbuq is like a person who establishes prayer individually while establishing the missed rakats. While continuing prayer alone, s/he recites a surah or some verses after Fatiha if it is normally required, otherwise s/he does not (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, I, 102; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, II, 344-350).
