Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam stands for a fifth rak'ah in a four-rak'ah prayer, do the ma'mums sit and wait for him, or do they say the taslim and leave him? If the imam stands for a fifth rak'ah in a four-rak'ah prayer
The Shaykh:
Why don't they alert him? They should alert him.
The presenter:
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.
The Shaykh:
And they, if they are certain that it is an extra rak'ah, it is not permissible for them to follow him; it is not permissible for them to follow him. They should continue sitting. If they wish, they may say the taslim for themselves, and if they wish, they may wait and say the taslim with him.
The presenter:
Yes, that is the end.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
