Question:
He says: The congregation prays in the mosque with a regular imam, they pray, and then the first congregational prayer is made up, and then another group comes and prays. Do these people get the reward of the congregational prayer?
Answer:
They get the reward of the congregational prayer if they missed the prayer. If they missed the congregation and they established a second congregation, they get the reward of the congregation. But if they intentionally delayed and said, "We will pray a second congregation," this is not permissible. This is division and separation, and it is not permissible. Yes.
