Question

if i join the jamaat in the second rakat (before ruku), then it comes to the sitting position, should i recite the tashahhud or just remain silent? (since it is technically my first rakat)

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

You will have to recite tashahhud.[1]

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best

Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
