AL-KAFI #1084: TIDAK SAH SOLAT QASAR DI BELAKANG IMAM TAMAM
Is a traveller's shortened (qasar) prayer valid when performed behind an imam who is praying the full four units?

A qasar prayer performed behind an imam who prays the full four units is not valid, because it does not meet the conditions for a valid qasar prayer.

Summary
A qasar prayer performed behind an imam who prays the full four units is not valid, because it does not meet the conditions for a valid qasar prayer. The prayer must be completed in four units, and it must be repeated in full if the traveller has ended his journey. While still travelling, it may be repeated as a shortened prayer. The fatwa notes that some scholars report a consensus on this ruling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara ringkasnya, tidak sah solat qasar di belakang imam yang solat tamam (penuh empat rakaat) kerana tidak menepati syarat sah solat qasar.
