A musalli joined the salaat while the Imam was coming up from ruku, how does the musalli complete his namaaz?
Question
Does the musalli have to read this rakaat as a missed rakaat?
Answer
In order for a Musalli (follower) to get the Rakaat, he must join the Imaam in Ruku. If the Imaam finished the Ruku and was coming to the Qawma position, the Musalli has missed that Rakaat. He must make up for that Rakaat after the Imaam completes his Salaat.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.

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.
