The ruling on following in prayer one who is making up a missed prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it valid for me to follow in prayer, after entering the mosque, one who is making up a prayer he missed with the imam?

Answer:
This is not permissible; because the one making up this prayer is a follower, and a follower does not become an imam except if the imam appoints him as a substitute in the matter of substitution. As for if you come and people are praying, or one person is praying a voluntary prayer, pray with him, enter with him. But as for one who is suspected, it is not permissible to follow him because he was a follower, and a follower does not become an imam except in the matter of substitution. Yes.
