The ruling on praying 'Isha' in congregation while the imam is praying tarawih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: When a person arrives at the mosque and has missed the 'Isha' prayer, and the imam has begun the tarawih prayer, is it permissible for a group to pray 'Isha' while the imam is praying 'Isha', or should they join the imam with the intention of 'Isha'?
The Shaykh:
He prays tarawih.
The questioner:
He prays tarawih.
The Shaykh:
Yes. If they are a group, they pray it all together and stay away from those who are praying tarawih in a corner of the mosque, in a place where those praying tarawih cannot hear them and they do not disturb them. There is no harm in praying it in congregation and then joining the tarawih prayer. If they join the imam in the tarawih prayer, and he says the taslim, each one stands up and completes the prayer for himself. There is no harm. Yes, both are permissible. Yes.
