Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If I come to the three-rak'ah prayer and I have missed a rak'ah, and the imam sits for the final tashahhud, do I sit in the mutawakkirah position or not?
Answer:
You sit following the imam; you sit in the mutawakkirah position. If you sit in the muftarisah position, there is nothing wrong with it. But since it is the final tashahhud, you follow your imam and sit in the mutawakkirah position. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
