Question:
A traveler, O Shaykh, led the people while they were residents and informed them that he was a traveler. He said, "I will pray two rak'ahs, and you complete the prayer." When he finished the two rak'ahs, one of the followers with him came forward to complete the prayer.
Answer:
To lead them in the prayer. Yes, O Shaykh. There is no harm in that, provided they agreed to pray with the traveler. When he finishes the shortened prayer, one of them steps forward and completes the prayer with them; there is no objection to that. And if each person completes the prayer for himself, there is no objection to that either. Yes.
