Summary
A latecomer who joins the imam while the imam is in the final tashahhud is recommended to recite the final tashahhud together with the imam. This includes the blessings and salutations upon the Prophet's family and the supplications that follow. The worshipper follows the imam's outward actions, even though this sitting is the first tashahhud for the latecomer. Supplication in this sitting is not disliked and is in fact recommended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Apabila makmum masbuq berjemaah bersama imam yang sedang keadaan duduk pada tahiyat akhir, maka makmum disunatkan membaca bacaan tahiyat akhir juga iaitu termasuk selawat dan salam ke atas ahli keluarga Nabi SAW dan bacaan selepas daripada itu.
