The ruling on entering when the imam is in the final prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, two men entered the mosque while the imam was in the final prostration of the final unit of the prayer. What is best for them? Do they enter with the congregation, or do they wait until the imam concludes the prayer and then they pray alone as another congregation in the mosque?
Answer:
They enter with the imam, intending that when the imam concludes the prayer, one of them will lead the other after the imam’s conclusion. They agree on this: that after the imam’s conclusion, one of them will lead them, and they will obtain the two rewards: the reward for catching the prayer with the congregation and the reward of their prayer being a congregation after the imam.
The presenter:
The Shaykh’s long [pause]. What is your opinion? That is, they obtain two rewards: the reward of following in the first prayer and the reward of the congregation after the prayer. Yes.
