Does a person catch the Friday prayer by catching the tashahhud?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A person came to the Friday prayer and entered with the imam, and the imam was in the tashahhud. Is he considered to have caught the Friday prayer and does he pray two rak'ahs, or does he pray it as Zuhr?
Answer:
He prays it as Zuhr, because on the correct view, the Friday prayer and the congregation are not caught except by catching a complete rak'ah. So if the imam raises his head from the last rak'ah before the latecomer enters with him, he has not caught the congregation nor the Friday prayer. He prays it as Zuhr with regard to the Friday prayer, and he prays it as making up a missed prayer with regard to other than the Friday prayer. Yes.
