Going to another mosque to pray in congregation after the congregation has already prayed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I entered one of the mosques and found that the congregation had already prayed, and there was a second group there. I know of a mosque that is not far away where they have not yet prayed. Should I go out and pray with that mosque?
The Shaykh:
The Shaykh.
The questioner:
He says: I entered the mosque and found that the main congregation had already prayed, and in my mosque there is a group that has not yet prayed. I know of a mosque that is not far away. Should I go and pray with that mosque, which is late in praying, or should I pray?
The Shaykh:
There is no reason to go, as long as you have a congregation that missed the prayer and you are all praying together. There is no need for you to go to the second mosque. What is the merit of the second mosque? You have people with you who establish the congregation, so do not go to the second mosque. Perhaps if you go, it will cause some embarrassment for them, that you do not want them, or that you... Yes.
