Who enters the mosque and finds a second congregation; should he pray with them or pray alone?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the answer to the second question, it also involves a distinction. If the mosque in which you intend to pray the second congregation, after the first has ended, is a mosque with a regular imam and a regular mu'adhdhin, like many well-known mosques, then you should pray alone, and it is not prescribed for you to establish a second congregation. However, if it is a mosque on the side of the road, or in a place where the mosque has no regular imam and no regular mu'adhdhin who gathers them to pray at a specific time, then in that case it is permissible to repeat the congregation in such a mosque. Is the answer clear?
The questioner : For example, "Jami' al-Husayni"?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : Alone, meaning my professor?
The Shaykh : Yes, you should pray alone.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Regarding the same question, it is well known that it is established in the Sunnah to give charity to the one who is being given charity to.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And I wanted to apply something like this. Today, our brother Abu Malik... I told him: "Come, give me charity." So I prayed with him; he was performing the obligatory prayer and I was performing a voluntary prayer.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... there, it's not that... they wanted the person to come back with them, so he hit my shoulder. Of course, if I had gone back, they would have kept hitting me... he hit me the first time, the second... the third... so I went back.
The Shaykh : And you are a man, you don't find this kind of hitting, do you?
Those present : [Everyone laughs!]
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This is a mistake on the part of the congregation who do not know the ruling of the Shari'ah. It is not your concern.
The questioner : It is not my concern?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : You were forced... answer me.
The Shaykh : But the imam who indicates that you should pray voluntarily behind him should be aware that such a situation might occur.
Yes, anything else?
Please proceed.
