Question:
If a Musafir misses two rakaats behind a Muqeem Imaam, he completes as four rakaats as a Masbooq, correct?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
If a Musaafir prays behind a Muqeem Imaam, he should pray 4 Rak’aats, as mentioned below:
إن اقتدى مسافر بمقيم اتم أربعا
“And if a Musaafir follows a Muqeem, he should complete 4.” (Fataawa Hindiyya, Vol 1, Pg 156)
So, yes, if he (Musafir) is a Masbooq behind a Muqeem Imaam, he should finish off the 4 Rak’aats.
Only Allah knows best.
