The answer

The best for those who join the prayer late, after the Imam has given the salutation, is for each of them to complete their prayer individually. They should not put forward one of them to lead them in prayer, in order to avoid the disagreement of those who do not consider it valid to be led by someone who joined the prayer late. However, if they do put forward one of them and pray behind him, the congregational prayer is valid according to what is held as the authoritative opinion by us.
