The Imam’s Notification When He Adds a Fifth Rak'ah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you: If you prayed a four-rak'ah prayer with the imam, and in the last rak'ah the imam added a fifth rak'ah.

Answer:
You must notify him; do not remain silent. Say the takbir for him. If he does not return and you know that it is an extra rak'ah, do not follow him. Sit down. Either say the taslim for yourself, or wait for him and say the taslim with him. Yes.
