A musalli joined the salaat while the Imam was coming up from ruku, how does the musalli complete his namaaz?

Fatwa 943English

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.

Was salaam
