What is the ruling on one who enters while the imam is in qunut, then bows, and then follows the imam?

Question : The questioner says: I saw a man enter with the imam while he was in qunut, so he said takbir and bowed, then raised his hands, and made qunut with the imam, and said taslim with him. Is that valid? Or what was obligatory for him?

Answer : This action is not valid. A person comes and the imam is making qunut, so he enters with him in the qunut, prostrates the two prostrations, and says taslim with the imam. This is not valid, because it is not worship of Allah to worship Him with a truncated rak'ah, since a rak'ah must include standing, bowing, prostration, and sitting. This man did not bow, nor did he stand before the bowing; rather, he stood after the bowing. So we say that such an action is not permissible, because it is mocking the verses of Allah. If his imam says taslim and he caught him in the qunut, he must perform the rak'ah that he missed. Yes.
