Should the latecomer recite sana when the Imaam is reciting qiraat?
Question
If I enter the mosque to offer Maghrib or Esha namaz. I know that the people offering Namaz are in the 1st Rakat but the Imam has already started reciting a Surah from Holy Quran after reciting Surah Fatiha first. In such a situation do I have to say "Sanaa" or shall I keep silent and join the Namaz?
Answer
Remain silent.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
