The ruling on one who joins the congregation during the final tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master Muhammad. The question says: One who joins the congregation during the final tashahhud, one who joins the congregation during the final tashahhud of the Fajr prayer, is it better for him to sit with them, or should he pray the Fajr sunnah and then pray alone?
The Shaykh:
He prays with them, then he prays the Fajr sunnah. If he comes to them during the tashahhud, he joins them, due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 635 As long as he comes to them while they are sitting, he sits and recites the tashahhud with them, then he stands and performs the prayer, making up what he missed, and he prays the Fajr sunnah after that, or after the sun rises in his house. The Fajr sunnah after the prayer, or after the sun rises, there is no harm in that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Perhaps that is sufficient, perhaps that is sufficient. May Allah bless you.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. It is sufficient for him, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good. May Allah keep you safe, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah for success for everyone.
The presenter:
Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh:
The Anamiyyah and the hope.
The presenter:
O Allah, amen. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
With Allah's permission.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe.

and pray whatever you get (with the people) and complete the rest which you have missed
