He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for one who prays behind an imam who has completed the prayer to complete it, even if the imam is also a traveler?

Answer:
Yes, if the imam completes the prayer, the ma'mum completes it, whether the imam is a traveler or not; his ruling is the ruling of the imam. Yes, and the imam did not do anything forbidden or invalid; he completed the prayer, so his prayer is valid, even if he is a traveler.
