In congregational Salah; a person who comes late is expected to

B. say subhanallah so that the Imam can note his presence
C. recite the iqama before joining the congregation D. make takbiratul ihram and join the Imam
D. make takbiratul ihram and join the Imam

Correct Answer:

Option D – make takbiratul ihram and join the Imam

Explanation

The person who joins the congregational prayer after the Imam has done a Rakah or more should first say the opening Takbir Takbirat Al Ihram while standing and then should move, directly to perform the act that the Imam is performing and when the Imam finishes the prayer he (the person who joined the prayer late) should complete what he has missed.
