Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person enters the mosque and the imam has already prayed one rak'ah, and the imam recites the tashahhud while the follower is not in the place of the tashahhud, what should he do?
The follower follows his imam by sitting with him for the tashahhud, even if he is not in the place of the tashahhud. He recites the entire tashahhud until his imam says the taslim, then he stands up to complete his prayer.
The questioner: But he recited the tashahhud in a place where it does not belong?The Shaykh: Yes.
It is not in its place with regard to the follower's prayer, but with regard to the imam's prayer, it is in its place. The follower is commanded to follow his imam.
