Joining the imaam in whichever position he is in while in salaah

Q: If a masbooq finds the Imaam in sajdah or jalsah or qadah, should he join the Imaam in that posture or can he wait for the Imaam to stand up for the next rakaat?

A: The teaching of the Hadith is that the masbooq should join the imaam in whichever posture he finds the imaam in.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
