Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I enter the mosque and the imam has already sat for the final tashahhud, what should I do? Do I enter with him, or do I wait until he says the taslim and then pray with another congregation?
Answer:
If you expect that people are going to come, wait for them. If you do not expect anyone to come, enter with the imam for the remainder of the prayer so that you receive the reward of following, then stand up and complete the prayer after he says the taslim. Yes.
