The ruling on one who arrives in the last rak'ah of the prayer after the bowing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, a person arrived in the last rak'ah after the bowing, so what does he do?

The Shaykh : He missed the prayer. The one who missed the prayer says the takbir for entering the state of prayer and joins the imam in whatever he catches up with, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Pray what you catch up with."

The questioner : Shaykh, in this case, he does not catch up with any rak'ah; he does not catch up with the second congregation.

The Shaykh : Yes, if he is in a second congregation, and he is certain it is a second congregation, then let him wait.
