The ruling on the prayer of one who arrives after the congregational prayer

Question:
The questioner says: A man was late for the Maghrib prayer, so one of us wanted to give him charity. Should he pray three rak'ahs with him, or four? And is it permissible to give charity to these people after I have prayed Fajr and 'Asr?

Answer:
If someone comes to pray and the people have already prayed, it is recommended (mustahabb) for those present that one of them stand up to pray with him in congregation. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, or rather, what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided us to. He said: ? So there is reward and merit in this, and you pray the same number of rak'ahs as he does, except if it is the Maghrib prayer as you mentioned, in which case you complete it with one rak'ah, because one does not pray a voluntary prayer of three rak'ahs except in the Witr prayer. Yes.
