Question
How should the Takbirs of Eid Salaat be recited by a person who joins the last after the Imaam has recited the Takbeers?
Answer
If one joins the Eid Salaat after the imam has already recited the Eid Takbeers of the first Raka't, then (a) If one has confidence that after reciting the Takbeers one will be able to unite with the imam in Ruku, then make the Niyyat for the Salaat and recite the Takbeers in Qiyaam.
(b) If one fears that by reciting the Takbeers in Qiyaam one will not be able to unite with the imam in Ruku then immediately after Niyyat, join the Imam in Ruku and recite the Takbeers (silently) in Ruku instead of the normal Ruku Tasbeeh, but do not raise the hands (in Ruku) while reciting the Takbeers.
If the imam emerges from Ruku before you could complete the Takbeers join him. The balance of the Takbeers are waived.
2. If one has missed a complete Raka't of the Eid Salaat, it should be fulfilled as follows:
After the imam makes the Salaams, rise and recite Qiraat. After the Qiraat recite the Takbeers and complete the Salaat as usual.
