One who catches Maghrib behind someone who missed the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person catches up with the Maghrib prayer in congregation behind someone who missed it, does he complete it with a fourth rak'ah, or is he content with three?
Answer:
He does not make it even, for that would leave it as an odd number, because the witr is the odd number of the day. The witr is not repeated, so he makes it even. Yes.
