The ruling on a latecomer completing his prayer before the imam’s closing salam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A woman asks: Many Muslims complete their prayer before the imam finishes his salam. What is the ruling on that? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a latecomer to stand up to complete his prayer until the imam has said the second salam. If he stands up, he must go back and sit down until the imam says the second salam. If he does not go back and stands up before the imam says the second salam, the scholars say that his obligatory prayer becomes a voluntary one, so he must pray the obligatory prayer again.
