The Ruling on Following a Latecomer in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I entered the mosque, and the imam had already finished the prayer. Is it permissible for me to pray behind a member of the congregation?
Answer:
If you pray behind him while he is making up the prayer, he becomes your imam, so there is no harm. And if you pray alone, there is no harm. The matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
