Praying behind a mosque that delays the congregation for the 'Asr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The mosque of our congregation always delays the 'Asr prayer until there is only one hour left between 'Asr and Maghrib. He asks: Is it permissible for me to go and pray with them consistently?
The Shaykh:
Where is this mosque located? Is it in our area?
The questioner:
He did not mention anything.
The Shaykh:
If it is in our area, it must be reported to the Department of Mosques so that they can take action against them, ensuring they do not delay the people, but rather pray with them and not delay behind them. The Ministry is the one responsible for this matter. This is not suitable for the imam of this mosque; he is not a suitable imam. This is a deviation from the congregation. Yes.
