Does the musalli have to read this rakaat as a missed rakaat?
Answer
In order for a Musalli (follower) to get the Rakaat, he must join the Imaam
in Ruku. If the Imaam finished the Ruku and was coming to the Qawma
position, the Musalli has missed that Rakaat. He must make up for that
Rakaat after the Imaam completes his Salaat.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
