Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the latecomer catches the imam in prostration, should he wait until he rises, or should he join him in the prayer?
Answer:
He joins him in the prayer, but that unit of prayer is not counted, and he does not catch the congregation with it, nor does he gain the virtue of the congregation. He only joins him to obtain the reward and the following of the imam. Yes.
