AL-KAFI #1051: HUKUM SOLAT ORANG MUSAFIR MENJADI IMAM KEPADA ORANG MUKIM DAN SEBALIKNYA
May a traveller lead a resident in congregational prayer, and may a resident lead a traveller?
Short answer
Both arrangements are permissible. A traveller who follows a resident imam must pray the full four rakaat with the imam, and if he joins late he completes the full prayer after the imam gives the salam.

Summary
Both arrangements are permissible. A traveller who follows a resident imam must pray the full four rakaat with the imam, and if he joins late he completes the full prayer after the imam gives the salam. A resident who follows a travelling imam completes the remaining rakaat to make four after the imam gives the salam at the second rakaat, a point the fatwa cites as scholarly consensus.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai penutup, hukum orang musafir menjadi imam kepada orang mukim adalah dibolehkan. Demikian juga dibolehkan untuk orang yang mukim menjadi imam kepada orang musafir.
