The Ruling on Entering the Prayer with the Imam in the Final Tashahhud or Waiting for a Second Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ismail Muhammad says: I came to the mosque and the imam was in the final tashahhud, and I knew it was the last rak'ah. Do I join the imam, or do I wait for a second congregation?
Answer:
If you know that a group is coming, wait for them. If you do not know that anyone is coming, join the imam for what remains so that you may receive the reward of following the imam. As for the congregation, you have missed it by missing the rak'ah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and reward you with good,
