The One Who Arrives Late to Friday Prayer
If someone catches the Friday prayer after the bowing of the second unit, for example, if they join the imam while he is in prostration in the second unit, should they complete it as Friday prayer or as noon prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Whoever reaches the imam even in the last tashahhud is considered to have caught the Friday prayer, and he must perform two rak'ahs, and God knows best.
