Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if the follower is praying with the imam, and this follower doubts the number of rak'ahs, does he say the salam with the imam when the imam says the salam in the mosque?

Answer:
Yes, he says the salam following his imam,
The Imam is to be followedإنما جعل الإمام ليؤتم به
Sahih al-Bukhari 1236
, and he does not attend to the forgetfulness that occurred on his part; the imam bears it. The imam bears the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes.
