The prayer of a worshiper with a second congregation after the obligatory prayer has ended

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the questioner says: A man prays, he says he always prays in the mosque with us, and when he finishes the prayer with the congregation,

The Shaykh:
A man.

The questioner:
A man always prays in the mosque with us, so when we finish the congregational prayer, he stands up and prays with the other congregation. He asks: Is his action prescribed, and what is our duty toward that?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not prescribed. He prays and that is enough. Because some of the madhahib, or rather some of the followers of the madhahib, for they are not madhahib themselves, but some of the followers of the madhahib, say that one should pray after the obligatory prayer as a precaution, because there may have been a defect in it. This is waswas (whispers of doubt). There may have been a deficiency in it. This is a matter of waswas. The imams did not say this; rather, it is some of the followers of the madhahib. Yes.
