The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a traveler catches up with the resident imam in the tashahhud? If he catches up with the resident imam in the final tashahhud, does he complete the prayer or shorten it?
The Shaykh:
He is not required to complete it. If he joins an imam who is completing the prayer, he is required to complete it, even if he joins him only in the last part of the prayer. His ruling is the same as the imam's. Yes.
The presenter:
My daughter, I.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
