Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A man prayed the midday prayer, and then he prayed the regular voluntary prayer. Then a man who had not prayed the midday prayer came and prayed with the man who was praying the regular voluntary prayer. What is the ruling on his prayer?

Answer:
The prayer is valid, if Allah wills. It is permissible for the one praying the obligatory prayer to follow the one praying the voluntary prayer, as indicated by the Sunnah. It is permissible for the one praying the obligatory prayer to follow the one praying the voluntary prayer, and vice versa: the one praying the voluntary prayer may follow the one praying the obligatory prayer.
