The Ruling on Praying the Obligatory Prayer Behind a Voluntary Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him). This questioner asks: What separates the prayer of the one praying a voluntary prayer from the one praying the obligatory prayer, and the bowing from the bowing?
Answer:
It is correct that there is no harm in praying the obligatory prayer behind one who is praying a voluntary prayer. Because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) prayed behind Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him).
And Mu'adh's prayer was a voluntary one, because he prayed with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then he went out and prayed with his companions, so it was a voluntary prayer for him, and he had his obligatory prayer to perform. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not disapprove of that for Mu'adh, nor did he order him to repeat it, which indicates the permissibility of praying the obligatory prayer behind a voluntary prayer. And the Companions also prayed behind 'Umar ibn al-Salamah.
And he was a boy who had not reached puberty, and the prayer of his companions was defective, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order them to repeat it; he accepted their state. Likewise, it is permissible to pray a voluntary prayer behind a defective prayer, as in the story of those who prayed in Mina and then came.
And to the mosque of al-Khayr, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with his companions, so they sat down and did not pray. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called them and said to them: If you come to the prayer, pray with him, for it is beneficial for you. This indicates that it is permissible to pray a voluntary prayer behind an obligatory prayer.

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A man entered the 'Isha' prayer
Answer:
and as in the hadithSahih Ibn Hibban 10:694 The man who entered is free of blame, so this indicates the validity of the one who is overtaking praying with the one who is being overtaken.
