The questioner:
Our Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), this questioner says: Sometimes I am praying the sunnah, and a person comes and completes the prayer with me? He says: He is praying the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones), and a person comes to pray behind him and completes his prayer with him.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that. It is permissible for the one obligated to pray to follow the one praying a voluntary prayer, and vice versa. Both are permissible, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter:
Also, a question.
The Shaykh:
And the Shari'ah strives for the congregational prayer whenever possible. Yes.
