The question

Is the prayer of one who entered the mosque and found the congregation performing a prostration of forgetfulness valid if he prostrated with them believing it to be a prostration of prayer, then made the salutation with the Imam, left the rest of the prayer, and went to pray with another congregation from the beginning?

The answer

Whoever joins the Imam before the has caught the congregation according to the majority of scholars, contrary to the Malikis. It would have been better to complete the missed part of the prayer without interrupting it and moving to another congregation. What was done, by repeating the prayer with another congregation, fulfills the obligation.
