Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The professor questioner asks about the ruling on one who finds the imam in prostration: does he join him, or does he wait for another congregation?

Answer:
If he arrives while the imam is in prostration after the last rak'ah, at the end of the prayer, and he knows or it is more likely in his opinion that there is a group behind him who are coming, he waits for them and establishes the prayer when the imam concludes the prayer with the salam. They do not establish it before the imam concludes the prayer. If he does not know that anyone is coming, and it is not more likely in his opinion that they are, then he joins the imam in whatever part of the prayer he catches up with, in order to obtain the reward, the reward of following, and he completes his prayer after the imam concludes the prayer. He performs his prayer after the imam concludes the prayer. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
