If a traveler enters the mosque and finds the imam in the third rak'ah, should he pray two rak'ahs or complete the prayer and pray four?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A traveler entered the mosque during the four-rak'ah prayer, and he entered after the second rak'ah?
The Shaykh : He must complete the prayer as a four-rak'ah prayer, because as soon as a traveler follows a resident, his prayer becomes the prayer of a resident, even if he catches the prayer at the last tashahhud.
The Shaykh : He must complete the prayer as a four-rak'ah prayer, because as soon as a traveler follows a resident, his prayer becomes the prayer of a resident, even if he catches the prayer at the last tashahhud.
