Ruling on following in the prayer of one who entered it alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I enter the obligatory prayer, or a voluntary prayer, and after the takbir of ihram a man enters beside me, does my prayer become a congregation? And if my prayer is voluntary, what is the ruling in that case as well? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, it becomes a congregation, whether it is voluntary or obligatory. If one person enters with you on your right, and you are the imam, then you both receive the virtue of the congregation in both the obligatory and voluntary prayers.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
