How many Takbeerah do I make?

Question:

If the one praying behind the Imaam meets the Imaam in a place other than the rukoo’, should they say two takbeerahs or just the takbeerah of ihraam only? And should they put their hands on their chest?

Answer:

Yes, they should say two takbeerahs: the takbeerah of ihraam and the takbeerah of transitioning.
And they should not put their hands on their chest because the time for that has passed.
