Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A traveler to Makkah missed the 'Isha' prayer, so he joined the imam of the Haram in the Tarawih. Does he shorten it and pray two rak'ahs, or does he complete it and pray four rak'ahs?
Answer:
No, if he joined him with the intention of Tarawih and prayed two rak'ahs shortened, because he is a traveler, there is no harm in that. Rather, if he arrives while the imam is in the obligatory prayer, if he arrives while the imam of the Haram or another is in the obligatory prayer, he joins him and completes the prayer, completing the prayer with the imam. This is in the obligatory prayer. As for Tarawih, there is no harm in intending to shorten it. Yes.
