The detailed ruling on the validity of the reward for congregational prayer while traveling, in parks, or in government offices
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The hadith (The congregational prayer is twenty-seven degrees better than the prayer of an individual) and prayer is performed in congregation while traveling, in parks, and in offices, and even in some mosques it is performed several times. Is this reward hoped for in every congregation that is held?
As for the prayers performed while traveling, they undoubtedly fall under the hadith. As for prayer in offices, one must look at the situation: if he cannot pray in the mosque because it is far away, or because of the fear that work will be disrupted, or because of the fear that some employees will run away—since some employees, if they leave, do not return, or they are late—So at that time we say: their prayer in their offices is equivalent to their prayer in the mosque because they prayed in congregation.
And as for what is repeated—Meaning: the prayers repeated in the same mosque—these do not yield the reward of the congregation; because the reward is only in the first congregation.
