Entering the midday prayer with the congregation and remembering that he has a missed midday prayer?

Question : A man entered while the people were praying the midday prayer. He remembered that he had missed the midday prayer yesterday. With which one does he begin, the current prayer or the missed one?

Answer : He begins with the missed one. He entered with them intending to pray for yesterday’s midday prayer while they were praying today’s midday prayer. We say this is correct. It is correct, because he is making up a prayer behind one who is performing it, and there is no harm in that. The prayer is one; it is all midday prayer, all four units, but the time differed. The time differed.
