The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for the latecomers to pray in congregation after the imam has finished his prayer?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible, what?
The questioner:
For the latecomers to pray in congregation after the imam has finished his prayer?
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that if they miss the congregational prayer, they pray in congregation. The latecomers pray in congregation, and there is no harm in this. What is prohibited is establishing two congregations at the same time in the mosque; that is the harm. But if they miss the first congregation, it is obligatory for them to pray in congregation and not individually. Yes.
