Is it permissible for one who missed a rak'ah in the congregational prayer to lead others while he completes that rak'ah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man missed a rak'ah in the Zuhr prayer, then the imam concluded the prayer, and then he stood up to complete his prayer, so two people came and made him their imam.

Answer:
No, that is not permissible. It is not permissible for him to become an imam when he was a ma'mum. He was a ma'mum, so he does not become an imam. The two men should pray as a congregation on their own. Yes.
