Question
What do the honourable scholars say regarding the following: An imam led
the Asr prayer, after which some of those who prayed behind the imam stated
that only three units(Rak’ahs) had been offered. However, the imam and most
other attendees had zann-e-ghalib (predominant thought) that all four
units had been offered. In this case, must the prayer be repeated?
بِسْمِ اللہِ
الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
In the given scenario, it is not necessary to repeat the prayer if the imam
has predominant thought that all four units of the ‘Asr prayer have been
offered. (Radd Al-Muhtar, vol. 2, p. 679, Bahar-e-Shari’at,
vol. 1, p. 594)
