How is the prayer of a resident behind a traveler?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the imam intends to shorten the prayer and the follower intends to combine them, and he says the closing salam with the imam.
The Shaykh : Sorry, did the imam intend to shorten the prayer?
The questioner : Yes, they are all travelers.
The Shaykh : And the follower?
The questioner : He did not consider it a journey and intended to complete the prayer.
The Shaykh : Ah.
The questioner : But he said the closing salam with the imam.
The Shaykh : Okay, does he consider himself a resident or a traveler?
The questioner : He considered himself a resident, and the imam considered himself a traveler.
The Shaykh : So he must complete the prayer.
The questioner : Does he have to repeat the prayer?
The Shaykh : He does not repeat it; he completes it. If the imam said the closing salam and he said it with him, that is a mistake, so he must perform two rak'ahs.
The questioner : And he does not repeat the prayer.
The Shaykh : No, he does not repeat the prayer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : He prayed two valid rak'ahs, but if he considers himself a resident—and this often happens, where a resident follows a traveler—
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Sorry, did the imam intend to shorten the prayer?
The questioner : Yes, they are all travelers.
The Shaykh : And the follower?
