The Ruling on Completing the Prayer Behind Another Latecomer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have two questions, Shaykh. The first question is about the ruling on completing the prayer behind a ma'mum, meaning he is sitting to make up the remaining part of the prayer, and I am afraid of joining him with the intention that he is the imam. The second question is about the daily shower; does it count as wudu' for me, because wearing socks depends on it? May Allah reward you and so on. So I perform wudu' and sometimes I intend the shower, of course it is not a ghusl for janabah, but a shower to cool down and for cleanliness. Thank you, Shaykh.
The presenter:
Yes, completing the prayer behind the ma'mum, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
It is better not to do that. It is better for each of the latecomers to complete the prayer for himself. The one who arrived late should look for someone to pray with other than the one who is completing his prayer. Yes.
