Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A masbuq (one who joins the prayer late) is behind an imam in a four-rak’ah prayer. Is it valid for the masbuq to sit for the tashahhud in the imam’s fourth rak’ah, which is his third rak’ah?
Answer:
As long as he is waiting for the imam to stand up, he does not sit for the tashahhud. Yes.
