The ruling on following a latecomer in congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it valid for a follower to follow one who is making up a missed prayer, whether the follower is among those who caught part of the prayer with the first congregation, or whether he arrived after the congregation’s prayer had ended?
Answer:
It is permissible. It is permissible to make the one making up the prayer his imam. Then, when the one making up the prayer concludes with the taslim, he completes his own prayer. And if he prays alone, or if they pray as a congregation by themselves, that is sufficient.
