Prayer: What Is the Ruling for Someone Following Imam Khomeini on Travel Prayer Who Prays (e.g., Friday) Behind an Imam with a Different Marji‘?

English:

Question #581:

What is your rule about a person who follows Imam Khomeini in taqlīd concerning traveling prayer, if he prays, especially Friday prayer, behind an imam who follows another marji‘?

Answer #581:

The difference in taqlīd does not prevent one from correctly starting his prayer behind someone else. However, it is not correct to offer one’s prayer behind an imam in a prayer which should be offered as shortened according to the follower’s marji‘ while it should be offered completely according to that of the imam or vice versa.
