This is in reference to the post Joining in Namaz.

Meeting in second rakat of Maghrib: The person performs the second and third rakat of Maghrib with the Imam until the Imam says salaam. At this point the person gets up and performs the first rakat in which he recites “sanaa” followed by fatiha and surah and then completes his namaz.

Meeting in third rakat of Maghrib: The person performs the third rakat with the Imam, then gets up and performs the first rakat in which he recites the “sanaa” followed by fatiha and a surah. After this he sits in tashahhud and then gets up to perform his second rakat in which he recites the fatiha and a surah only.

This is in reference to the post Joining in Namaz.

Meeting in third rakat of Dhuhr, Asr or Isha: The persons completes the third and fourth rakat with the Imam. After this, he gets up and offers his first rakat in which he recites the “sanaa” followed by fatiha and a surah. Then he offers the second rakat in which he recites the fatiha and surah, following which he sits in “tashahhud” and completes his prayer.

Meeting in fourth rakat of Dhuhr, Asr or Isha: The persons completes the fourth rakat with the Imam and then when the Imam says “salaam”, he gets up and starts his first rakat in which he recites “sanaa” followed by fatiha and surah. At the end of this rakat he sits in tashahhud. After this he gets up to pray the second rakat in which he recites fatiha and surah only and then without sitting in tashahhud he prays the third rakat in which he recites only the fatiha.

Here is a translation of some parts of the Image posted in Joining in Namaz.

Meeting in second rakat of Fajr: If the person joins the Imam in the second rakat, he will be completing his second rakat with the Imam but his first rakat would still be pending. He should therefore, complete his first rakat after the second rakat. For this he will recite “sanaa” followed by fatiha and then a surah in this rakat.

Meeting in second rakat of Dhuhr, Asr or Isha: In this case, the person completes the second rakat with the Imam and sits for “at-tahaiyaat”. Then he gets up along with the Imam and completes the third and fourth rakat as well. When the Imam says “salaam”, the person still has to complete his first rakat, so he gets up and says the “sanaa” followed by fatiha and sura and so on until he finishes this rakat as well.

More to follow later, inshaAllah!
