Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The listener Abu Fahd says: If I pray with the one who is late for the Maghrib prayer in order to gain the reward of the congregation, do I say the closing salam with him in the third unit, or do I complete the fourth? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You complete the fourth, because there is no voluntary prayer of three units, yes.
