Establishing two congregations for the Maghrib prayer in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I and my brothers entered the mosque and established a congregation for the Maghrib prayer. During the prayer, another congregation for the Maghrib was established. What is the ruling on the prayer of the two congregations, and what is obligatory to do?
Answer:
There is no harm in that. Complete your prayer, and this congregation [the other one] does not complete their prayer. Rather, the later ones who came should have entered with you. But since they did not enter with you, they erred. However, you complete your congregation, and they complete their congregation, as long as they have said the takbir, they complete their prayer. Because this matter is not intended; establishing two congregations at the same time is not intended. It only happened out of ignorance. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
