The questioner:
I was praying the greeting of the mosque, so a man entered with me to pray with the intention of the obligatory prayer. Is my leading him valid?
The Shaykh:
Repeat the question. I was praying the greeting of the mosque, so a man entered with me to pray with the intention of the obligatory prayer. There is no harm in that; it is permissible for the one praying the obligatory prayer to follow the one praying a voluntary prayer. You are praying a voluntary prayer, and a man entered with you intending the obligatory prayer; there is no harm in that. Yes.
