We conclude this session, Your Eminence the Shaykh, with this question: If a person enters while the imam is in the final tashahhud, does he sit down or wait for another congregation?

It is better for him to enter with them and not wait, based on his statement (peace and blessings be upon him): This is a general statement that covers the one who catches it in the last rak'ah or in the tashahhud; he enters with them, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge and benefit the Muslims through you.
