Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man came on Friday while the imam was in the tashahhud of the Friday prayer. Does he enter with him and pray it as Zuhr or as Jumu'ah?
Answer:
No, Jumu'ah, no. One does not catch Jumu'ah unless he catches a complete rak'ah. However, he should intend Zuhr and enter with the imam for the sitting and tashahhud. When the imam says the taslim, he stands up and prays it as Zuhr.
