The Prayer of the One Praying Alone Behind the Rows When a Man Joins Him in Prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man prayed alone behind the rows, and when he was in prostration, another man came and formed a row with him. Is the rak'ah he prayed alone valid?
Answer:
Yes, if he caught up with him in prostration, his prayer is valid because he did not complete a full rak'ah. However, if he completed a full rak'ah with its bowing and prostration, and the other man did not join him until the second rak'ah, then his prayer is invalid. But if he caught up with him before he completed the rak'ah—whether he caught up with him in bowing or in prostration—and joined him, his prayer is valid. Yes.
