LATE COMERS TO THE JANAAZAH SALAAH

When a LATE COMER FEARS that if he engages himself in WUDHU, he will miss the Janaazah Salaah, ONLY then it IS permissible for him to make TAYAMMUM and join the Jamaa’ah. This rule applies to the Janaazah Salaah only.

Whomsoever arrives for the Janaazah Salaah after the Imam has recited ONE or more Takbirs, should wait and join the Imam when he says the next Takbeer. After the Salaam he should complete the missed Takbirs by merely saying Allahu Akbar once for every Takbeer missed. No Dua should be read. If the Imam has completed the FOURTH Takbeer then too, the late comer should join and complete all the missed Takbeer (but before the Imam says the Salaam).
