Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a man enters the mosque while the imam is praying, does he join him in the prayer and intend it as the greeting of the mosque, or does he pray the two rak'ahs of greeting alone? And if he prays them alone, is it permissible to rebuke him?
Answer:
Yes, if he enters while the imam is praying, he joins him. The obligatory prayer suffices for the greeting of the mosque, and he does not pray alone. Saying, "I am praying the greeting of the mosque," is ignorance. It is not permissible for a person to pray the greeting of the mosque while the imam is praying. The greeting is included in the obligatory prayer. He enters with the imam and prays with the imam. Yes.
