The Ruling on the Intention of the One Praying Behind the Imam in the Witr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: What is the situation of the one praying behind the imam if he does not know about his imam, so he prayed with the imam intending to pray Subha wa Qul Ya Ayyuha al-Kafirun, then the imam stood up without him knowing, and it was the intention of the one praying behind the imam that in his first intention he wanted to pray two rak'ahs.

The Shaykh : Poetry.

The questioner : The same question, but regarding the mother and length.

The Shaykh : It does not harm the one praying behind the imam if he intended the witr, whether the imam said the taslim after two rak'ahs or not; it does not harm him in any way.
