Holding a Second Congregation in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In the mosque, after the first congregation has finished, is it permissible to hold a second congregation?
Answer:
If they are doing this intentionally and saying, "We cannot wait; we are not going to pray with the imam. We will go, and as soon as he says the taslim, we will pray," this is not permissible. However, if they did not intend this, but came wanting to pray with the imam and missed the prayer with him, there is nothing wrong with them holding a congregation. Yes.
