Question:
A traveler caught up with the imam in the final tashahhud of the 'Isha' prayer, and the imam was praying in full. After the imam's salam, the traveler stood up and prayed 'Isha' shortened to two rak'ahs. Is his prayer valid?
Answer:
Answer: No, it is not valid. His ruling is the same as the imam's; even if he had joined only before the salam, he would have been required to complete the prayer.
