Ruling on completing a missed prayer in congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a man has a portion of a missed prayer to make up, and he stands to complete the prayer, does he and the person next to him complete it together?
Meaning: If two people enter the prayer and have missed a portion of it, and one of them says to the other, "I will be your imam for what we are making up," is this permissible? Some scholars say it is permissible, and some scholars say it is not permissible;Because a person is commanded to make up what he missed alone: (What you catch up with, pray, and what you miss, complete). What we see is that there is no harm in it, but it is better not to do it; rather, each person should make up his prayer alone. Because if he makes it up with his companion as a congregation, he might disturb others with the takbir and the recitation, if there is loud recitation in what they are making up. Also, he and his companion might be a congregation, and two other people might come and form a congregation, resulting in multiple congregations in one mosque. Therefore, it should not be done. However, if it is done, the correct view is that the prayer is not invalidated, though some scholars said it is invalidated.
