The Ruling on a Traveler Praying with the Congregation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers is asking. He says: He was traveling and caught up with the prayer in congregation. It was a four-rak'ah prayer. He prayed two rak'ahs and sat down, and he did not stand with the imam until the imam completed the fourth rak'ah. The imam said the taslim, and then he said the taslim with him. He asks: Is there a problem with this? Is it correct?

The Shaykh:
He has to make it up, because it was a mistake. It is obligatory for him to follow the imam.

The presenter:
They should repeat it. Yes, he should repeat it as four, because the obligatory number is four. May Allah reward you for your good deeds. Some groups... May Allah reward you for your good deeds. When someone dies among them, they pay a sum to their shaykhs. May Allah reward you for your good deeds. What is your guidance? May Allah reward you for your good deeds. For example, when someone dies among them, they pay sums to their shaykhs, saying it will save them from the Fire. May Allah reward you for your good deeds?

The Shaykh:
It has no basis. If they have good, they should give charity. They should give charity to the poor. This is one of the causes of good. They should give charity to the poor. Charity extinguishes the sin just as water extinguishes fire. As for giving to the shaykhs, it has no basis. This is one of their superstitions. But if they have good, they should give charity to the poor and the needy on behalf of their deceased.
