Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: If the one who joins the prayer late knows that the imam has stood up for an extra rak'ah, does he count that rak'ah?
Answer:
He does not count it, because it is not part of the prayer; it is extra. I saw a fatwa by Shaykh Ibn Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) in which he says the one who joins late does count it, but Allah knows best.
