Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I was traveling and intended to pray the 'Isha' prayer shortened, but the imam completed the prayer and did not shorten it. So I performed the tashahhud and said the taslim after the second rak'ah. What is the ruling?
Answer:
It is not permissible. The ruling is that the prayer is valid if the imam completes it, and it is obligatory for the followers of the imam to complete it as well. So it is not permissible to shorten the prayer behind an imam who completes it; the ruling for the follower is the same as the ruling for the imam. Yes. So you must repeat the prayer that you shortened behind an imam who completed the prayer. Yes.
