The ruling on delaying one's arrival for prayer during a permissible time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has already prayed.
Answer:
Hmm? No, by Allah, the closest view, and Allah knows best, is that he may arrive early or late. This is because the one arriving can delay his arrival during a time when prayer is permissible, or delay it to a point that is a matter of consideration. I say it is a matter of consideration to pray during the prohibited times. This is because the one arriving, by his own choice, can arrive early, or he can delay slightly so that he prays at the appropriate time. This is unlike the one who enters the mosque to pray, and unlike the one who attends the mosque while the people are praying and he has already prayed.
He has already prayed.
