If one catches the Friday prayer before the closing salam, is he considered to have caught the Friday prayer?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A listener from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, Suhayl 'Abdullah Muhammad, asks and says: What is the ruling on one who joins the Friday prayer shortly before the closing salam? Is he considered to have caught the Friday prayer or not?

Answer:
One is not considered to have caught the Friday prayer unless he catches a complete rak'ah with the imam. If he catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer with the imam, he adds another one after the imam's salam, and he is considered to have caught the Friday prayer. As for if the imam raises his head from the bowing in the second rak'ah, then the one who comes after that enters with him with the intention of the midday prayer. When the imam says the salam, he stands up and prays the midday prayer of four rak'ahs. Yes.
