The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. A group prayed the 'Asr prayer in only three rak'ahs and did not know or become certain until the 'Isha' prayer, but there was a person who joined them and thought he had missed a rak'ah. When the imam said the taslim, he stood up and completed the fourth. What is the ruling on their prayer and his prayer?
The Shaykh : As for the one who completed four, his prayer is valid. As for the group who said the taslim after three, it is obligatory for them to repeat the prayer, meaning to make up the prayer.
The questioner : The group, or
The Shaykh : The group who remained present in the mosque
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : In any case, those who can, the group, those who can and those who cannot, it is not obligatory, because this is a make-up prayer and not a prayer performed in its proper time.
The questioner : And those who left
The Shaykh : They should announce, they should announce, either by writing a notice at the mosque door that whoever prayed 'Asr with us on such-and-such day must repeat the prayer. Yes, that is right.
