The traveling ma'mum behind an imam who completes the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. I was traveling and intended to pray the 'Isha' prayer shortened, but the imam completed the prayer and did not shorten it. So I performed the tashahhud and said the taslim after the second rak'ah. What is the ruling?
Answer:
It is not permissible. The ruling is that the prayer is valid. If the imam completes the prayer, the imam's completion ends it, because the Book [of Allah] is the light of Paradise, so it is not permissible to follow an imam whose ruling is the imam's ruling. You must repeat the prayer that was valid behind an imam who completed the prayer.
