The ruling on leaving the first congregation to wait for another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: Some scholars say that if a person catches up with the congregation while they are in the final part of the prayer, and he hopes to catch another congregation, he should wait for the other congregation and not join the prayer of the current imam. This appears, on its surface, to contradict the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
and pray whatever you get (with the people) and complete the rest which you have missedما أدركتم فصلوا وما فاتكم فأتموا
Sahih al-Bukhari 635
. The matter is as it appears on the surface regarding the obligation. I hope you will clarify this, for he is a good man.

Answer:
Yes, this is correct. It is not that he left joining the imam except to go to what is better than joining him.
In order to obtain the virtue of the congregation, because the correct of the scholars' opinions is that the congregation is not caught up with by the washing of the washing. This is the correct view: that it is not caught up with by the washing of the washing. So if he did not catch up with the opposite of the washing, then he missed the congregation, and the congregation is a heritage. There is no problem with him.
And joining him is recommended, so he left it for the sake of its sake. This is if he knows that there is something behind him that they do not attend. Otherwise, with them is a congregation. But if he does not know and has no news of it, then he does not delay in the rest of the prayer; he joins the imam.
