Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The imam of our mosque prayed the 'Isha' prayer with five rak'ahs by mistake. He says: I missed the first rak'ah, so I prayed four rak'ahs behind him. Do I count this extra one?
Answer:
No, the extra one is not a prayer, so do not count it. Yes.
