Q 9: If I enter a Masjid (mosque) and join the congregational prayer in the last Tashahhud (testification recited in the sitting position in the last unit of Prayer). After Taslim (salutation of peace ending the Prayer), if I stand up to make up for the missed Rak`ahs (units of Prayer), then someone comes in and follows me, should I lead him in Salah as Imam?

A: It is permissible for whoever wants to offer Salah to follow a person who joined the Imam in the last Tashahhud. This matter is more worthy of permission than the case mentioned in the previous question. Therefore, this person should lead the person who wants to follow him in Salah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
