Reciting the tasbeeh of ruku or sajdah after the Imaam makes takbeer

Q: A Muqtadi has recited an even number of Tasbeeh in Ruku or Sajdah. Before he can recite the next Tasbeeh, to make it an odd number, the Imaam makes the Takbeer. Is the Muqtadi permitted to recite one more Tasbeeh (in order to make it an odd number) after the Imaam has said the Takbeer?

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
