Question 202) - Explain what happens in 'Asr.

A: If the Munfarid performed one or three Rak'at and the Jama'ah commenced then the ruling is the same as we mentioned in breaking off or completing in Zhuhr and 'Isha. The difference is that he will not join the Imam after completing 4 Rak'at because Nafl after 'Asr is Makruh.
