Ask The Imam Question and Answer

113 If you join the Magrib jammat at the point where two rakats have already been read and the imam is in the sitting position (Atahiyath), after reading the third rakat with them, when the Imam says salaam, Do I get up and read two rakats on my own then sit in the Athitayath position, or do I read one rakat then sit down and read Atahiyath and then get up again for my third rakat?
You are required to read one rakat then sit down and read Atahiyath, then get up again for your third rakat (ie. the second option you listed).
Remember to start from Subhanakallah and read a Surah after Surah Fateha in both missed Rakaats (as you missed the first two Rakaats).
