The latecomer sitting for the first tashahhud and raising the hands at the time of prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if a man enters the prayer with the imam and is, for example, two rak'ahs behind, and the imam finishes the last part of the prayer, while he is in the first of the obligatory parts, is it permissible for him to align with the imam or to differ from him?
The Shaykh:
He does not sit cross-legged, because for him it is the first tashahhud, so he sits cross-legged. Yes.
The questioner:
Or does he recite? Does he listen before you when he wants to prostrate?
The Shaykh:
No, this has not been reported. It has not been reported that one raises his hands during prostration; rather, this is only done during bowing.
