The Ruling on Delaying the Prayer from the First Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
It is based on an authentic hadith. The disagreement is not out of mercy; disagreement is a punishment. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, forbade disagreement and division. Disagreement does occur, but it must be resolved by returning to the Book of Allah,[An-Nisa 4:59]. Otherwise, it will persist, as it is the nature of humans to disagree. However, one must return to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and the disagreement will end. As for remaining in disagreement, no, that is not permissible.
The questioner:
And he comes and prays in the mosque, delayed from the prayer. Is there a difference in the ruling for one who delays the prayer in the mosques? He comes and prays in the mosque, delayed from the prayer. Is there a difference between the first congregation and the delayed congregation?
The Shaykh:
The one who intentionally delays from the congregation and says, "I will pray in congregation after them," that is not permissible. This is division among the Muslims, so it is not permissible; this is forbidden. As for a person who comes to pray with the congregation and the prayer has passed, there is no harm in him establishing two congregations because he is excused. But the one who intentionally establishes two congregations in one mosque, Islam does not approve of this and does not permit it at all. Yes. So do not[Ali 'Imran 3:105] and kill them, but when the clear proofs came to them, it is not permissible to divide among Muslims in matters of worship and other things. Yes.

And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger
