The Permissibility of Holding a Second Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: When people who missed the first congregation enter, is a congregation established for them or not?
A: Yes, a congregation is established for them, and it is obligatory for them to pray in congregation if they missed the first congregation; due to the generality of the verses and hadiths commanding prayer in congregation. However, its virtue is not like the virtue of the first congregation. It is established that a man entered the mosque after the people had prayed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:694 And the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 2:330 was narrated by Abu Dawud and others with a good chain of narration.

Who will give charity to this man and pray with him
من يتصدق على هذا فيصلي معهA man's prayer offered with another man is purer than his prayer which he offers alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one and if they are more (in number), it is more beloved to Allah
صلاة الرجل مع الرجل أزكي من صلاته وحدهه وصلاته مع الرجلين أزكي من صلاته مع الرجل وما كان أكثر فهو أحب إلى الله
