Question:
The questioner says: I was traveling, and I joined the congregation in the last rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer. Then they finished, and I did not know whether they were residents or travelers, so I completed four rak'ahs. Is my action valid?
Answer:
Yes, this is what is obligatory for you; because the default is four rak'ahs, so if you do not know whether they are shortening the prayer or not, you complete it to exit the obligation with certainty, yes.
