If one catches the final tashahhud, has one caught the congregation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener from the Arab Republic of Egypt, Tariq Taha, sent a question asking: If I catch the imam in the final tashahhud, have I caught the congregation? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The congregation is not caught except by a rak'ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 1:15. So if you catch only the final tashahhud, you have missed the virtue of the congregation. You should always hasten, if Allah wills, to the mosque at the beginning of the time so that you do not miss the congregation. Yes.
