Entering the prayer with the imam in the final tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And standing the night of the Shaykh, if you love Allah, when you come to the mosque and the congregation is in the final tashahhud, and I am with another person, is the matter
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
that the mosque and the congregation are for the final months.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
And any other person, so do I remain waiting until I pray with another person, or not?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for you to enter the prayer with the imam, as long as there is anything remaining of the prayer, you enter with the imam, and you do not divide against the imam. Rather, if you come and the imam has already said the taslim, or he is saying the taslim, then you pray in congregation. But as long as there is anything remaining of the prayer, you enter with the imam.
