The ruling on a traveler praying behind a resident imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man who is traveling prayed the Maghrib prayer with a congregation, then entered with a group who were praying Maghrib to pray 'Isha' with them. He prayed two rak'ahs, shortening the prayer, and did not stand for the third rak'ah, then he said the taslim with them.
Answer:
Because this imam behind whom he is praying does not shorten the prayer; he prays three rak'ahs for Maghrib. Therefore, his prayer is not valid. He is required to complete the prayer: when the imam says the taslim, he stands and performs the fourth rak'ah, because he did not pray behind an imam who shortens the prayer.
