Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if I have already prayed the obligatory prayer in one mosque, and I go to another mosque and find the people there in prayer, and I have left two rak'ahs of the prayer, is it permissible for me to say the closing salam when the imam says it, or must I complete the prayer?
Answer:
Follow the imam; pray the prayer of the imam. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam is appointed to be followed." So follow him and complete the prayer; it will be a voluntary prayer. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
