Fatwa #766219 February 2003South Africa

If a person joins the Fajr salaat just as the Imam goes into ruku does he have to repeat that rakaat or not(1st rakaat)?If not and he does than what should he do?

Answer

If a person joins the Imaam in Ruku, he has got the entire Rakaat. It is not necessary for him to repeat the Rakaat. He should complete the Salaat with the Imaam.
