The questioner:
He says: I notice, Shaykh, that some people who miss the congregational prayer join the prayer of a person to complete what they missed of the congregational prayer.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that if he catches up with a person who is praying, even if it is at the end of his prayer; he joins with him so that they form a congregation. Yes.
The questioner:
And if he joins one who is praying a voluntary prayer, and he has not prayed yet, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Likewise, whether it is a beneficial prayer or otherwise. Yes.
