Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
If the latecomer joins the prayer when the imam is reaching the end of his recitation, before bowing, should he start his prayer with the opening du‘aa’, or should he join the imam and remain silent?
He replied:
If the latecomer arrives when the imam is bowing, he should bow with him, and not recite the opening du‘aa’ or recite any Qur’an; rather he should say takbeer and bow. But if he comes when the imam is still standing and there is plenty of time, then he should recite the opening du‘aa’ and al-Faatihah. This is what is prescribed for him: to recite the opening du‘aa’ and then al-Faatihah, even in the prayers in which the imam recites out loud. If there is a pause where the imam falls silent, he should recite it at that time; otherwise he should recite it to himself, then after that he should listen attentively to the imam. But if he comes late, when the imam is bowing, then he should say takbeer and bow, and the requirement to recite al-Faatihah is waived in this case, because he is excused.
End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 30/150
And Allah knows best
