Is it permissible for us to pray the 'Asr prayer in congregation in the mosque if the 'Asr adhan has been called and the imam has combined the 'Asr with the Zuhr by advancing the combination?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: All right, if someone enters and prays the Zuhr, and then wants to pray the 'Asr; does a second congregation form here at the time of 'Asr, or does he pray it at his home, or does he pray it alone, on the basis that the congregation for what? The 'Asr prayer was prayed like this?
The Shaykh: What did he pray?
The questioner: Let us assume.
The Shaykh: What did he pray with the congregation? The Zuhr or the 'Asr?
The questioner: One person prayed the Zuhr and the 'Asr and finished, and another wanted to pray the 'Asr, so he went at the time of 'Asr on the basis that he missed the Zuhr prayer, for example, this is another person, so he went to pray the 'Asr at its time, and he saw that the 'Asr adhan was called normally, but there were no worshippers; so does he pray combining, and pray if he has someone with him to pray in congregation?
The Shaykh: Excuse me, my brother, I did not understand, did the one who entered the mosque enter at the time of Zuhr or 'Asr?
The questioner: No, after 'Asr, it is in the time of 'Asr.

The questioner: Our Shaykh, the time of Zuhr has ended, this depends on another person.
The Shaykh: You are saying advanced combination.
The questioner: We have finished with that, on the basis that I caught up with the prayer.
Another questioner: The brother is asking whether a second congregation is permissible in the case where the imam combined the 'Asr prayer with the Zuhr? Is a second congregation permissible since the congregation?
The Shaykh: This is not a second congregation; and that is why I am telling him: when did he enter, in the time of 'Asr or did they combine in the time of Zuhr? They combined in the time of Zuhr, this is advanced combination; and then?
The questioner: After that they finished, that is all... .
