The presenter:
We have Nassir on the line. Please, Nassir. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
Peace.
The questioner:
I have a question, Shaykh.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
The imam prayed and added a rak'ah by mistake, and the congregation alerted him, so he sat down. He said the taslim and then prostrated after the taslim. As for the ma'mum who missed a rak'ah, they sit and prostrate the prostration for forgetfulness, or they complete what they missed and then prostrate the prostration for forgetfulness.
The Shaykh:
My brother, my brother, turn it off, turn it off. There is interference.
The presenter:
Turn off the television you have, my brother, the one that is connected. Thank you, thank you. The question has come through, please go ahead, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if one joins the imam while being behind by a rak'ah in the prayer or otherwise, and then the imam says the taslim and the late-joining person stands up to make up what he missed, and then the imam is alerted because he forgot a rak'ah and stands up to complete his prayer, then the follower has a choice. If he wishes, he continues alone, and if he wishes, he joins the imam and prays this rak'ah with him to complete his prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
