Saya sempat berjemaah dan mengikut imam hanya 3 rakaat daripada 4 rakaat. Adakah saya wajib membaca tahiyat akhir ketika imam di tahiyat akhir walhal saya masih berbaki lagi satu rakaat?
If I only caught 3 of the 4 rakaat with the imam, must I recite the final tashahhud when the imam is in it?
Short answer
A follower who is only in the third rakaat while the imam sits for the final tashahhud is not obliged to recite the final tashahhud.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

Summary
A follower who is only in the third rakaat while the imam sits for the final tashahhud is not obliged to recite the final tashahhud. He must still sit with the imam until the imam gives the salam. This applies if he has not made the intention to separate from the imam (mufarakah).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Anda tidak wajib membaca tahiyat akhir kerana saudara baru dalam rakaat yang ketiga tetapi wajib saudara duduk mengikut imam sehingga imam memberi salam jika saudara tidak bermufarakah.
