Question
How should a latecomer perform Janaazah Salaat? He joins the Salaat after one or more Takbeers have been cited.
Answer
If someone arrives after one or more of the Takbirs of the Salaat have been completed, he should not recite the Takbir and join the Salaat immediately as is the case with other Salaat. He should wait for the Imam to recite Takbir. When the Imam recites Takbir, he (the late-comer) too should recite the Takbir and join in the Salaat. This will be Takbir-e- Tahrimah for the late comer. When the Imam recites the Salaam, the late-comer should fulfil the Takbirs which he had missed. There is no need for him to recite anything other than the missed Takbirs.
If someone arrives after the Imam has recited the fourth Takbir, he (the late-comer) should immediately recite the Takbeer, join the Salaat and recite the missed Takbirs.
