Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this is Salim. He says: I joined the congregational prayer for the midday prayer, and the imam was in the second rak'ah before bowing. Then, after the tashahhud in the fourth rak'ah, the imam made a mistake and stood up for the fifth. I stood up with him, prostrated for forgetfulness with him, and concluded the prayer with him.
Answer:
No, the extra rak'ah that was added is not counted. The extra one is not counted; it is not part of the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
