Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man missed one rak'ah and caught up with the imam for three rak'ahs, but the imam stood for the fifth. So I stood with him and said the taslim with him. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
He stood for the fifth; the extra is for him, meaning the imam stood for the fifth. So the latecomer does not count the extra, because it is idle talk. The extra is idle talk. How is the prayer? So the latecomer does not count it; he makes up for it in a rak'ah.
