Establishing a second congregation in the mosque for those who combine prayers while traveling

Question:
The questioner asks: Does the prohibition against having multiple congregations for prayer in the mosque include those who combine the 'Asr prayer with the Zuhr prayer when they are travelers, and the mosque has more than one congregation?

Answer:
No, my brother. Establishing a second congregation in the mosque is permissible if there is a legitimate religious reason. If there is a legitimate reason, such as them missing the prayer, and they establish a congregation, there is no harm. They missed the prayer; they did not intentionally establish a congregation and leave the first one. They did not intend that. They came wanting to pray and wanting the congregation, but they missed it. So there is no harm in establishing it a second time.
A man entered after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed, so he said to his companions: This is a congregation that has taken place, but it is for those who missed the congregation. As for the one who deliberately says, "I do not care about the imam or the congregation," and establishes a second congregation, this is the one for whom this action is not permissible.
Second, the traveler who wants to combine prayers: if they pray with the congregation, they stand up after the imam says the taslim and pray the second prayer, 'Asr after Zuhr or 'Isha' after Maghrib. There is no harm in that, because this has a legitimate religious reason.
