The ruling on one who catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: In the Friday prayer, I did not catch anything but one rak'ah. Do I complete the prayer with a second rak'ah, or do I complete four rak'ahs?
The Shaykh:
You do not complete it with a second rak'ah, for by doing so you would have caught the Friday prayer, as stated in the hadith:Bulugh al-Maram 2:366
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, and may Allah reward you with good, may Allah reward you with good, and may He make us and you among those who listen and then follow the best of what is said. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Correct.
