The ruling on one who prays behind a resident who shortens the prayer because he did not know that completing it is obligatory
If a traveler joins a group of residents and prays the midday prayer with them—for example—two units, then stands up to pray the afternoon prayer two units, and then learns the ruling that he is required to pray four units with the residents, does he repeat the midday and afternoon prayers?
He repeats the prayer he prayed with the imam as four units; because whoever joins an imam who is completing the prayer is required to complete it, whether he caught the prayer from the beginning or caught the last two units. As for the afternoon prayer, if he prayed it with someone other than the imam as two units, he does not repeat it; because it was performed validly. The order is a condition in the case where a person knows that he missed something and did not make it up before the current prayer. But now, he prayed the afternoon prayer based on the fact that the midday prayer was valid, so he prayed it in its time.
