Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on the statement: "The congregational prayer is only with the regular imam"?
A: There is no sound basis for this statement to rely upon. However, it is obligatory to hasten to pray with the regular imam and not to be late. But if Allah decrees that one is delayed due to a reason, and then he finds someone to pray with, the reward of the congregation is hoped for them, due to the generality of the evidence.
