Question:
This questioner says: I am a traveler. If I catch up with the imam in the last two rak'ahs, is that sufficient, and does it count as shortening (qasr) for me, and do I say the taslim with him?
Answer:
We say: No. If you join the imam, your ruling becomes the imam's ruling. Even if you did not join him until just before the taslim, if you joined him, even just before the taslim, it is obligatory for you to complete the prayer. This is the Sunnah, as Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that a traveler who prays behind a resident completes the prayer, and he said that is the Sunnah, meaning the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
