Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the electricity went out while we were in congregational prayer in the last rak'ah, and we do not know whether we said the taslim before the imam or after him. Is there anything required of us?
Answer:
If you intended to pray individually, and you intended to separate from the imam and completed your prayer for yourselves, there is no harm. Or if one of you stepped forward and completed the prayer with you, there is no harm.
