When should one stand to complete the missed rakats?
Question
Assalamoalaikum. When I was in itekaf, the mufti sahb from ashraf ul madaris told us that it is incorrect to stand up for completing missed rakaats when the imam is giving the second salaam, the correct way is to stand up after the imam has said the second Salam. He said that this is a very common mistake that we make in salah. I want to confirm this, is the mufti sahib right?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Dear Brother,
The advice of the honorable Mufti Sahib of Ashraful Madaris is correct. If a person has missed a rakaat/s behind the Imam, he should stand up to make up the missed rakaat/s after the Imam completed the second salam.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
