The Second Congregation According to the Salaf and Negligence in Hurrying to Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the second congregation after the first congregation known among the Salaf in the form that people practice today, where many are negligent in hurrying to the prayer because they know that another congregation exists?
Answer:
The sin is upon him, the one who delayed; the sin is upon him. So it is not permissible for him to intentionally delay and say, “Whenever I come, I will find a congregation.” No, that is not acceptable. But if he comes and misses the other congregation, either because of the distance or because something prevented him for an excuse, there is no harm. Yes. But intentionally? No. Yes.
