The ruling on one who prays as a traveler behind a resident and has two rak'ahs remaining, and he concludes the prayer with him
A traveler prayed with a resident, but he shortened the prayer; because the imam had two rak'ahs remaining, he shortened it and concluded the prayer with the imam. What is the ruling on his prayer? And does he have to make it up if it is invalid?
Yes, his prayer is not valid, and he has to repeat it in full; because it became obligatory upon him in full,The evidence for this is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Pray what you catch up with, and complete what you miss) and this is general for travel and non-travel,And Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked: [What is the matter with a man who prays two rak'ahs while the imam prays four?He said: That is the sunnah] So convey, may Allah reward you with good, that the one who did this should repeat it as four rak'ahs so that his obligation is discharged, because he is making up a prayer that was obligatory upon him as four rak'ahs, so he must pray four rak'ahs.
