Arranging the Prayers or Catching Up with the Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Which takes precedence: arranging the prayers, or catching up with the prayer that is being performed in congregation, even if that means not maintaining the order? For example, he attended the 'Isha' prayer, he attended the 'Isha' prayer, but he had not prayed Maghrib.
Answer:
He prays Maghrib first, then joins the 'Isha' prayer for whatever remains of it, because arranging the prayers is obligatory, except in one or two cases. In two cases: the first case is if he forgets the order, it is excused for him due to the forgetfulness. The second case is if he fears that the time of the current prayer will end, he fears that the time of the current prayer will end, then he prays the current prayer first to preserve its time, and then prays the missed prayer afterwards. Yes.
