The ruling on following a traveling imam in the Maghrib prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A traveler says: I led the Maghrib prayer for a group of residents during the time of 'Isha'. When I sat for the final tashahhud, some of the residents finished their prayer, while others waited until the imam said the taslim. What is the ruling in such a case? May Allah reward you with good. The question is good. The questioner says: A traveler led the Maghrib prayer himself, and it was during the time of 'Isha'. Excellent, excellent, excellent. If Allah wills. Like this. A traveler led the Maghrib prayer for a group of residents, and when some of the worshippers sat, they completed their prayer, while others waited until the imam’s prayer [was complete]. What is the ruling on the prayer in such a case? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The correct ruling is that he sits and then stands up until he says the taslim with those who stood up and came back to complete the missed rak'ah. The imam does not stand while still sitting, nor does he exit the prayer. He is surprised because the following has not yet ended. So he sits with them for the final tashahhud of Maghrib until he says the taslim, then he stands up and comes back to complete the missed rak'ah. Yes.
