The Dispersal of Employees in the Congregation of the Midday Prayer within the School
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh replied: In schools, the midday prayer is performed in congregation inside the school, but there are employees who come individually to pray their congregation after the time has entered and before the time of the main congregation. Do they pray individually, even if they are few, or do they delay until they join the main congregation?
Answer:
It is not permissible to split up, having two congregations in the school or two congregations in the mosque; this is not permissible. The religion emphasizes gathering, gathering. Splitting up in the congregation is not permissible; splitting into multiple congregations is not permissible. It is obligatory for them to pray together and not split up.
