Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If someone asks: Is it recommended to go to a mosque to repeat the prayer? Meaning, if he prayed with an early congregation and he knows there is a later congregation, is it recommended for him to go to the mosque to repeat it?
Answer : The answer is no, it is not recommended, because that was not the practice of the Salaf. If this had been among the matters of good, the first people to act upon it would have been the Companions, the Salaf, and they did not do this. But if there is a reason that requires you to attend the mosque, and you attend and the prayer is established, then pray with them; it is a voluntary prayer.
