The Prayer of the Traveler Behind the Resident Imam When He Is Late

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says: We are a group of travelers, and we prayed an obligatory prayer in a mosque. The imam prayed four rak'ahs, and we were late by two rak'ahs. When the imam said the taslim, we said it with him because we are travelers and we shortened the prayer. What is required of us?

The Shaykh:
Whoever prays with the resident imam prays four rak'ahs. This is how the Sunnah came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): the traveler who prays behind the resident imam prays four rak'ahs. If you catch two rak'ahs and the imam says the taslim, you complete two rak'ahs afterward, like any other latecomer, like all other latecomers.

The questioner:
He repeats the prayer.

The Shaykh:
They must repeat the prayer. Yes, they must repeat this prayer in which they shortened it while praying with the resident imam. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
