Question:
The questioner asks: Honorable Shaykh, how does the prayer of a man who catches the last unit of the night prayer proceed? And how does he recite? Does he recite aloud or silently? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
What the one who joins the prayer late catches up with the imam is the beginning of his prayer. So if he catches the last unit, that is the beginning of the latecomer's prayer. When he stands up after the imam's closing salam, he performs a unit which he considers to be the second unit from the start of the prayer, and he recites aloud in it. As for the two remaining units, they are the end of the prayer, so he recites silently in them. Yes.
