Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ya 'Abd al-Hadi, you are with us on the line, please go ahead. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace. May Allah make you happy. Please keep your question brief, please, 'Abd al-Hadi. You are asking the Shaykh: I arrived late for the prayer and missed a rak'ah. The imam finished the prayer, and I stood up to complete the rak'ah I missed, and a man came wanting to pray with me. Do I become the imam and he the follower, or is that not permissible? Thank you.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if he joins you, and when you conclude the prayer, he stands up and completes his prayer, so there is nothing wrong with that, yes.
