What is the ruling if a person falls before achieving tranquility (Tuma'ninah) in Ruku?

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If a person bows and then falls before achieving tranquility within the Ruku, they are obligated to repeat the Ruku. This is because the obligatory component of the act, tranquility, was not fulfilled, and thus the requirement for completing the Ruku is not met.
