Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: If the imam stands for the fifth rak'ah in the Zuhr prayer, what do the followers do?
The Shaykh:
Do they not know that it is the fifth? It is not permissible for them to follow him; rather, they should remain sitting and alert him by saying the tasbih, and not follow him. If he persists and continues, they do not stand. They do not stand. They proceed to the final tashahhud. If they wish, they wait until he says the taslim. They say the taslim with him, or if they wish, they say the taslim for themselves, if they know that it is an extra rak'ah. If they follow him while knowing that it is an extra rak'ah, their prayer is invalid, because they intentionally added to it. Yes.
Another questioner:
Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh:
What is it?
Another questioner:
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest
The Shaykh:
Yes.
