A latecomer leading others who join them in their remaining Rak`ahs

Q 3: Someone stood up to make up for the Rak‘ahs (units of Prayer) they had missed with the congregation; is it permissible for latecomers to the Salah (Prayer) to join someone who is making up for missed Rak‘ahs and make them the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) for the same obligatory Salah? (Part No. 6; Page No. 309


A: it is permissible for someone who is standing to make up for the missed Rak‘ahs to lead others who join them in their remaining Rak‘ahs and for them to make up for what they missed also. The person who is leading should know about the others and indicate that they are aware that they are the Imam by raising their voice in the Takbir (i.e. saying Allahu-Akbar), recitation, or by other means.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
