Praying for the one who missed the congregational prayer and leading the voluntary prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Ammar, says: Honorable Shaykh, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever gives charity on behalf of the one who missed the prayer." Does the one who gives charity become the imam or the ma'mum? And does the prayer have to be completed in full, or does he pray two rak'ahs? And is that valid in the times when prayer is prohibited, for example, after the 'Asr prayer for the one who missed 'Asr?
Answer:
All of this is correct and permissible. It is permissible for him to be the imam and for him to be the ma'mum. It is a voluntary prayer for him and an obligatory prayer for the one who missed the prayer. There is no harm in that. However, he completes the prayer with him and does not limit it to two rak'ahs; rather, he completes the prayer with him, and it is a voluntary prayer. This is permissible in the prohibited times and in other times. Yes.
