Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man was late to the prayer by one rak'ah, and the imam added an extra rak'ah. Does he count this extra rak'ah and consider it part of his prayer?

Answer:
No, this is not prayer. The extra rak'ah is not part of the prayer, which is why it is called "extra." Therefore, he does not count it. Yes.
