Question:
May Allah reward you. Thank you, Yusuf. The questioner says: Three people prayed in congregation, and when they stood for the second rak'ah, two of them left due to a sudden illness. Does the one who remained, the third person, receive the reward of the congregation?

Answer:
Yes. If they prayed in congregation for the first part, and then a sudden circumstance occurred that required some of them to leave, he gets what he intended. Indeed, actions are by intentions, and every person gets what he intended. Yes.
