When a masbuq joins Salah in four Rakah and stands up after the Imam says 'salaam', does he say the takbeer before recitation of Surah Fatiha (of 1st Rakah)?

Question

Asalmu-alaykum respected mufti sahab, Why does the masbuq have to sit in tashahud in this first rakah he is completing.? shouldnt it be in the second rakah?

Answer

The Masbooq should recite one Takbeer whilst rising from the sitting to the Qiyaam position. Thereafter, he must recite the Thanaa, Ta'awwuz, Tasmiyah, etc. There is no need to recite a new Takbeer whilst standing.

In order for us to answer the second part of your question, we need more clarification. We need to know whether your question is regarding a Masbooq in a two, three or four Rakaat Salaat.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
