Question:
He says: One catches up with the imam for three rak'ahs of the four-rak'ah prayer, then the imam says the salam, and he says the salam with him in error, then he remembers, stands up, prays the rak'ah, and performs the prostration for forgetfulness. Is his action valid?
Answer:
Yes, his action is valid. It is obligatory for him to perform the prostration for forgetfulness in this case; because he erred after the imam had said the salam, and he said the salam with him, so he is alone in his error regarding the imam, and he prostrates for it after his salam.
