Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It is well known that if a man misses the second rak'ah of the Friday prayer, he prays it as Zuhr. He says: If he joins the imam while he is in prostration in the second rak'ah, and he does not know that it is the second rak'ah, is it permissible for him to change his intention from the Friday prayer to the Zuhr prayer during the prayer?
Answer:
It becomes a voluntary prayer. He must intend Zuhr at the opening takbir. If he joins the prayer without knowing, and it becomes clear to him that he missed the second rak'ah, it becomes a voluntary prayer. A voluntary prayer. Yes.
