A man prayed 'Asr in congregation; is it permissible for him to pray with a person who did not catch the prayer after 'Asr, which is a time of prohibition?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A person came to the mosque after the 'Asr prayer. Is it permissible for the one who prayed 'Asr with the imam to pray with him, given that this is a time of prohibition?
The Shaykh : Yes, if a person enters the mosque after the 'Asr prayer and someone stands with him to bestow upon him this prayer so that it becomes a congregation, there is no harm. This is because the stronger position is that there is no prohibition regarding a prayer that has a cause, neither after 'Asr nor after Fajr. The prohibition is only for a person who intends to perform a voluntary prayer in this absolute manner. This is what is not permissible in the days of prohibition, the times of prohibition. Yes.
