The Sutrah of the One Who Joins the Prayer Late
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh Abdullah, if one misses a prayer with the imam or arrives late, does the imam’s sutrah apply to him?
The Shaykh:
It remains, yes, if he completes it, meaning he is the one who joined late.
The questioner:
Yes. No. After the taslim, may Allah preserve the trust, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
Satan is the guardian of his family, it is a sunnah (recommended practice). So if he has a stick and places it in front of him while he is praying, that is good. Yes. Yes.
