Delaying the prayer for the second congregation upon hearing the adhan on the way

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Sometimes we hear the adhan for Maghrib while we are on our way to this mosque. Is it permissible for us to delay the prayer so that we can pray in your mosque here as the second congregation, or should we stop and pray with another congregation?

The Shaykh:
Yes, what is it?

The questioner:
He says: Sometimes we hear the adhan for Maghrib while we are on our way to your mosque. Is it permissible for us to delay the prayer so that we can pray in this mosque as the second congregation? Or should we stop and pray in the mosque that is located...?

The Shaykh:
If praying in the mosque near you would cause you to miss the time, continue on to catch up with the time so that it is not lost on you. But if it does not affect the time, continue until you reach this mosque. Yes.
