One who enters the mosque, establishes the prayer, and prays before the congregation, while he is a traveler?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible for him; it is not permissible for him to establish the prayer and pray before the imam arrives. This is the imam’s responsibility. He should pray with the congregation, be patient, and pray with the congregation, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
