Summary
A follower who forgets and prostrates straight after i'tidal while the imam is still standing for Qunut Nazilah must rise again to be with the imam, since he is considered to have gone ahead of the imam. If he deliberately does not return while knowing that he has made a mistake, his prayer is invalid. The basic rule is that followers must follow the imam's movements, except in certain cases such as when the imam does something that invalidates the prayer or omits a pillar.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika makmum terlupa untuk membaca Qunut Nazilah bersama imam di mana dia terus sujud selepas iktidal sedangkan imam berdiri untuk membaca Qunut Nazilah, maka dia wajib bangun kembali untuk bersama dengan imam.
