The traveler praying behind a resident in the Friday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A traveling man entered a village while they were praying the Friday prayer. He entered the mosque and caught up with them for the tashahhud. Then, after the imam’s taslim, he stood up and prayed two rak'ahs, considering himself a traveler who shortens the four-rak'ah prayer. Is his action valid?
Answer:
No, it is not valid, because he prayed behind a resident. When a traveler prays behind a resident, he is required to complete the prayer. Even if he had joined him only before the taslim, his ruling is the same as the imam’s. Since the imam is not a traveler, he is required to complete the prayer. Yes.
