The Resident Praying Behind the Traveler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a resident praying with a traveler in order to catch the congregation, and may Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with a resident praying behind a traveler who shortens the prayer, but the resident completes the prayer. When the imam concludes the prayer, he stands up and completes his prayer. This occurred with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Battle of the Conquest, when they prayed behind him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
O people of Makkah, complete the prayer for yourselves, for we are a traveling people.يا أهل مكة أتموا لأنفسكم فإنا قوم سفر
. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
