The Ruling on Shortening the Prayer Behind an Imam Who Completes It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I came from Makkah and prayed two rak'ahs with your director, then with a congregation, or rather, I prayed the 'Asr prayer as two rak'ahs. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If the other congregation completes the prayer, then this is not permissible. It is obligatory for you to complete the prayer. Your ruling is the ruling of the imam, and your prayer with us as two rak'ahs is also not permissible, because it is not permissible to pray the shortened prayer behind one who completes the prayer. It is obligatory to complete the prayer behind him. The imam was made to be followed, so one completes the prayer behind him. Yes.
