Entering while the imam is in the final part of the prayer: does one pray or go to…?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This depends on the following: if you come to a mosque and the imam has already raised his head from the bowing in the final unit of prayer,

Answer : and you know that you will catch another mosque at the beginning of the prayer, or you will catch a unit of prayer in the second mosque, then we tell you: do not enter with this imam, because you will catch the congregation fully in another mosque. As for the author’s statement, we say: what? Enter with the imam, because you will catch the congregation as long as you caught the opening takbir before the imam’s closing salam.
