The questioner says: If I prayed behind the row and a person came and joined me in the second rak'ah.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: If I prayed alone behind the row and a person came and joined me in the second rak'ah.
The Shaykh:
A follower does not become an imam unless the imam appoints him as such. So if you catch up with someone who is making up a missed prayer, do not join him; wait for another person to come and pray with him. Yes.
