"As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
It has been noticed that a latecomer (Masbooq) for Salah finds the Imam in Ruku(bowing position), whilst saying Takbeer Tahreema (Opening Takbeer) he dives into Ruku, his Takbeer Tahreema(First Allahu-Akbar) finishes in Ruku.
What is the ruling regarding his salah?"

Radd al-Muhtar (also famous as Hashiyat Ibn Abidin and, in the Subcontinent, as Shami) is the central reference for fatwa and legal details in the Hanafi school across the Muslim world because of the methodology used by its author. He first studied the principles of weighing legal opinions (rasm al-mufti or qawa`id al-ifta'), and then systematized these, resolving apparent differences in methodology between the great imams of verification of the Hanafi school. After this, he applied this methodology is a very balanced and consistent manner throughout his work
