The ruling on establishing a second congregation in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on establishing a second congregation in the mosque after the first congregation has finished?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if they missed the prayer. They may establish a second congregation and pray. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said when a man entered after they had prayed the 'Asr prayer:
Who will give charity to this man by praying with himمن يتصدق على هذا فيصلي معه
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:694
This is a second congregation. Yes.
