If one enters the mosque and finds a second congregation, should he attend or pray alone?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the answer to the second question, there is also 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 there is no regular imam or regular mu'adhdhin gathering 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 : A mosque... for example.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : Absolutely not, meaning, my teacher?
The Shaykh : Yes, you should pray alone.
The questioner : Fine.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... Of course, it is known that it is established in the Sunnah... regarding the one who gives charity.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And I want to stick to something like this... our brother Abu Malik... he gave charity to him, no, this is not... because... it is assumed that he is so.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Because people, it is not that... they want to bring the person back with them... I did not return, he wants to stay... hit the first time and the second time he wants the third... .
The Shaykh : And you are a man, you do not seek this kind of hitting, do you?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This mistake is from the group who do not know the ruling of the Shari'ah; it is not your concern.
The questioner : It is not my concern, I was forced... answer me.
The Shaykh : No, but the imam who indicates that you should pray voluntary prayers behind him should be aware that you might find such a situation. Yes, others, please.
