The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : We enter while you are reciting the du'a of qunut. Should we enter with you and join your prayer, or should we pray the greeting of the mosque individually, or what should we do? I ask for your guidance.
The Shaykh : The preferred course, when you enter the mosque, is to do as the imam does. If you enter while we are reciting the du'a of qunut, you enter with us and say "Ameen" to the supplication. When our prayer is finished, you perform two rak'ahs if you have already performed witr in your mosques. If you have not performed witr in your mosques and you wish to perform witr with us, then you perform one rak'ah. Yes.
The questioner : Some of the brothers stand outside the mosque. Which is preferable?
The Shaykh : What I see is that a person should enter the mosque and pray, because this is an act of worship from which a person benefits. He listens to the imam's recitation, says "Ameen" to his supplication, and he attains glorification and supplication during the prayer, the bowing, and the prostration. The one or two phrases of glorification are better for a person in his scale than the world and all that it contains. Yes.
