Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If I come to the three-rak'ah prayer and I have missed a rak'ah, and the imam has sat for the final tashahhud, do I sit in the tawarruk position or not?
Answer:
How is the tawarruk? If you are in the iftirash position, that is fine. But since it is the final tashahhud, follow your imam. How is the tawarruk? Yes.
