Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A man is praying the regular voluntary prayer after the Maghrib prayer. Another man enters and completes the prayer with him. Is it permissible for him to recite aloud and pray three rak'ahs?
Answer:
He should not follow him, because he is a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam). This man is a ma'mum who stood up to complete the regular voluntary prayer, and a ma'mum cannot become an imam unless the imam appoints him as his substitute.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
