1. If I am praying behind the imam and I have a few rakats to pray, when do I stand up; after the imam's first salam or when he finishes both salams?
2. If I stand up after the first salam, is my prayer valid?
Answer
1. Stand up after the second salaam.
2. Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
