Question:
A man entered a four-rak'ah prayer and missed a rak'ah, and the imam came to a fifth?

Answer:
No, he does not follow him; he sits.
Q: I missed a rak'ah; for example, I prayed three and missed one, and the imam came to a fifth?
The Shaykh: Sit down, do not follow him. When he says the taslim, you stand up and make up the rak'ah you missed; do not follow him.
