The imam standing up for a fifth rak'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I prayed with the congregation in the midday prayer, and the imam stood up for the fifth rak'ah, so I said, "Subhan Allah!" but he did not hear me, and he continued standing, so what is obligatory for me? Do I stand up with him?
Answer:
If you are certain that it is an extra rak'ah, it is not permissible for you to stand up, and if you do stand up, your prayer becomes invalid because you intentionally added to it. However, if you are not certain that it is extra and you have doubt, you stand up with him, for the imam is placed there to be followed. Yes.
