At the end of his prayer, how may sitting for at-tashahud are expected of someone who misses two rak'ats in a congregational salā al- magrhib?

A.

four

B.

three

C.

two

D.

one

Correct answer is B

If you join the congregation during the first tashahhud of Maghrib prayer, then you should follow the imam in the third rak'ah, and recite the tashahhud, then get up after he says the salaam to complete your prayer. You have two rak'ahs left, so pray the first one with al-Faatihah and another soorah, then recite the tashahhud, which is the first tashahhud for you, then get up for the third rak'ah, and recite al-Faatihah only, and recite the last tashahhud, then say the salaam.
