Muqtadi

A muqtadi (follower) is one who is praying in a congregational prayer behind the Imam. They can be of three kinds, depending on the stage when they join the congregation:

  1. Mudrak

  2. Masbuq

  3. Lahiq

Mudrak is the follower who joins the congregation from the very beginning and remains with the Imam throughout the prayer till the end.

Masbuq is the follower that joins the congregation after one or more rak'ah have been performed.

Lahiq is the follower who joins the congregation from the beginning, but then loses one or more rak'ah.
