Question:
Shaykh, may you live long, I, may you live long, came to the Maghrib prayer and I was only one rak'ah behind. The imam stood up and added a fourth rak'ah, and the ma'mumin did not say anything. Subhan Allah. Does my third rak'ah make up for their addition, or not?
Answer:
If you knew that it was an extra rak'ah, do not count it. If you knew it was extra, do not count it, and it does not make up for your prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. May Allah reward you.
