The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is mentioned:Sahih Muslim 648d He says: If I am combining Maghrib and 'Isha' and I intend to travel, is it obligatory for me to pray with the people when the iqamah is called and I am in the mosque with them?
The Shaykh:
You heard the narration; if you wish, it indicates that this is not obligatory but rather recommended. If you are present when the iqamah is called, pray with them. However, if you arrive after the prayer has been established and they are already in prayer, do not join them. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And in some narrations: Yes.
