When One Is One Rak‘at Behind the Imam
Issue No. 1266- If a person is one rak‘at behind the imam, when the imam is reciting tashahhud, he should as an obligatory precaution be in a crouched position, meaning he should raise his knees and keep the fingers of his hands and the inner part of his feet on the ground, and as a recommended precaution recite tashahhud or other dhikr with him. If it is the last tashahhud, he should as an obligatory precaution wait until the imam utters salām of the prayer and then stand up and continue the prayer.
