Question:
The listener: Muhammad Abdullah al-Ghamidi, from Dammam, sent a message containing four questions. In his first question, he asks: By what is the unit of prayer, the congregation, the Friday prayer, the festival prayer, and the funeral prayer considered caught?
Answer:
As for the festival prayer, the Friday prayer, and the prayers of the five prescribed times; they are caught by one unit of prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 1:15 And the second hadith: Bulugh al-Maram 2:366.
As for if one catches less than one unit of prayer; then he does not catch the Friday prayer, he prays the midday prayer, and he does not catch the virtue of the congregation by that, unless he is excused by illness, or something else prevented him from attending the congregation without his choice, then he has the virtue of the congregation due to his legal excuse, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5:6 meaning: because of the excuse, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the expedition of Tabuk: Sahih al-Bukhari 4423 They said: And they are in the city? He said: And in the other wording: Sunan Ibn Majah 2765Sahih (Darussalam) So the one who is excused has the ruling of the one who is present in reward.
As for if he was negligent and careless, then he misses the virtue of the congregation, and he has to pray in his house, or in the mosque, the prayer that he missed, yes.
As for the funeral prayer, it is caught even by the last takbir, if he catches the last takbir, he says it, and recites al-Fatihah, then he says takbir, and prays upon the Prophet, and he is in a hurry, O Allah, send blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, then he says takbir and says: O Allah, forgive him, then he says takbir and says taslim, before it is raised quickly, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and by what is the unit of prayer caught, if you would be generous?
The Shaykh: By the bowing, if he catches the bowing, he has caught the unit of prayer, and al-Fatihah is dropped from him; because he did not catch the standing, and this is indicated by the fact that he (peace and blessings be upon him), when Abu Bakrah entered, and he was bowing - (peace and blessings be upon him) - he bowed behind the row, then he entered the row, so when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said taslim, he said to him:Sunan Abi Dawud 683Sahih (Al-Albani) Do not return to the bowing behind the row, meaning: and he did not order him to make up the unit of prayer, may Allah send blessings upon him, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As for the festival prayer, the Friday prayer, and the prayers of the five prescribed times; they are caught by one unit of prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever catches a raka of the prayer has caught the prayer.
من أدرك ركعةً من الصلاة فقد أدرك الصلاةWhoever is in time for a Rak'ah of the Friday prayer, or any other prayer, should add another (Rak'ah) to it and his prayer will then be complete.
من أدرك ركعةً من الجمعة؛ فليضف إليها أخرى، وقد تمت صلاتهAs for if one catches less than one unit of prayer; then he does not catch the Friday prayer, he prays the midday prayer, and he does not catch the virtue of the congregation by that, unless he is excused by illness, or something else prevented him from attending the congregation without his choice, then he has the virtue of the congregation due to his legal excuse, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever is ill or travels, Allah writes for him what he used to do while he was healthy and resident
من مرض أو سافر كتب الله له ما كان يعمل وهو صحيح مقيمThere are some people in Medina who were with you all the time, you did not travel any portion of the journey nor crossed any valley, but they were with you
إن في المدينة أقوامًا ما سرتم مسيرًا، ولا قطعتم واديًا إلا وهم معكمand they are in the city, an excuse held them back
وهم في المدينة، حبسهم العذرthey shared with you in the reward
إلا شركوكم في الأجرAs for if he was negligent and careless, then he misses the virtue of the congregation, and he has to pray in his house, or in the mosque, the prayer that he missed, yes.
As for the funeral prayer, it is caught even by the last takbir, if he catches the last takbir, he says it, and recites al-Fatihah, then he says takbir, and prays upon the Prophet, and he is in a hurry, O Allah, send blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, then he says takbir and says: O Allah, forgive him, then he says takbir and says taslim, before it is raised quickly, yes.

May Allah increase your eagerness! But do not do it again.
زادك الله حرصًا، ولا تعدThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
