Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A man is completing his prayer after the imam has said the taslim, and one of the people came and took him as his imam. Is this valid?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but it is better not to follow the masbuq. It is better not to follow the masbuq, because the masbuq was a ma'mum, and a ma'mum cannot be an imam unless the imam appoints him as a substitute. But since it has happened and occurred, the prayer is valid. Yes.
