Doubt as to the Number of Rak‘ats
Issue No. 1069 - If an imam who is leading a congregational prayer, doubts the number of rak‘ats, for example, whether he has performed three or four rak‘ats; but the ma’mūm is certain about the number of rak‘ats performed, he should point out to the imam by an indication and the imam should act accordingly. Likewise, if the imam knows how many rak‘ats he has performed, but the ma’mūm doubts, the latter should follow the imam and ignore his doubt.
