Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The honorable Shaykh says: I entered a mosque at the end of the night, after the late-night talk, and found people praying. I joined them and shortened the prayer, but the imam completed the prayer, so I completed it with him. This is the case.
Answer:
No, if you completed the prayer, you owe nothing, because a traveler has the option to complete the prayer. It is obligatory for him to complete the prayer if he prays behind an imam who completes it. He must complete it because he follows his imam. So what you did is correct, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
