When starting to pray a Wajib prayer the time is not Qaza with a few minutes left. But when I finish the prayers the time has passed the Qaza time. Is my Salat considered acceptable or do I have repeat it as Qaza?

If possible could you please give me the rule number from the Islamic Laws of Ayatullah Sistani so that I can refer to it for future.

Thank you for your question. As long as you finish one cycle within the time the whole prayer is prayed with the intention of ada and considered on time, and there is no need to pray qada. See the following ruling from Ay Sistani (hA):
Ruling 735. Someone who has time to perform one rakʿah of the prayer must perform the prayer with the intention of adāʾ; however, he must not intentionally delay the prayer until this time.

May you always be successful.
