Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a traveler arrives at a group who are praying the night prayer, and he has missed one unit, does he complete the remaining three units with them, counting them as the afternoon prayer for him and the night prayer for them?
Answer:
He says that one who enters to pray the sunset prayer until he prays the night prayer, if the imam stands for the fourth unit, he enters. If he wishes, he waits until the imam concludes the prayer and concludes with him. If he wishes, he separates himself and concludes the prayer for himself.
