Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A group of travelers entered the mosque while the people were praying the Friday prayer, and they caught the imam in the tashahhud of the Friday prayer. When the imam said the taslim, some of them stood up and prayed it as four rak'ahs, and some of them prayed it as two rak'ahs because they were traveling. Which of these two groups is correct?
Answer:
None of them are correct. Their ruling is the ruling of the imam. They entered with the imam, so their ruling is the ruling of the imam. They missed the prayer with the imam, so they pray it as Zuhr, four rak'ahs. Yes.
