A person arrives late for the Janaazah Salaat.

Answer

(1) If one fears that Janaazah Salaat will be missed if one engages in wudhu, it will be permissible to make Tayammum.

(2) 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 Imaam to recite Takbir. When the Imaam 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 Imaam recites the Salaam, the latecomer should fulfil the Takbirs which he had missed. There is no need for him to recite anything other than the missed Takbirs. As long as the body has not been removed, the Salaat will be valid.

(3) If someone arrives after the Imaam has recited the fourth Takbir, he (the latecomer) should immediately recite the Takbir, join the Salaat and recite the missed Takbirs.
