Whether a latecomer who makes up for the Rak`ahs he missed is regarded as someone who prays alone

554

Q 2: Is a latecomer who makes up for the Rak`ahs (units of Prayer) that he missed regarded as someone who prays alone and thus he has to have a Sutrah (barrier placed in front of a person praying) etc.? Or is he to complete his Salah (Prayer) on the grounds that he is in congregational Salah in which he follows the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) and thus he does not have to use a Sutrah, bearing in mind that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The Imam is appointed only to be followed; so when he recites Takbir (saying: "Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]"), you should also recite that.

A: A person catches up with the congregational Salah when they pray one Rak`ah (unit of Prayer) or more with the Imam. On the other hand, such a person continues to be a Ma'mum (a person being led by an Imam in Prayer) even when they make up for the Rak`ahs that they missed for there is still a connection between them and their Imam. Consequently, the Sutrah of the Imam is sufficient for the concerned latecomer.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
