Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: A guest came to me, and we offered him to lead us in the midday prayer. He prayed two rak'ahs because he was traveling, and we completed the prayer. Is our action valid?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the Battle of the Conquest when he prayed in Makkah. The people prayed behind him, including the people of Makkah and others. He said, "O people of Makkah, complete your prayer for yourselves, for a group of people..."
