The Ruling on Negligence in Hurrying to the Congregational Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on leaving out the takbir of entering ihram and joining the congregation in any rak'ah?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to hasten so that he says the takbir with the imam, so that he catches the prayer in the first rak'ah, and he should not be lazy, so that he performs the entire prayer in congregation. This is what is obligatory for the believer: to maintain the congregation and to hasten so that the congregation does not pass him by.
Q: But what if he intentionally does not catch it except in the second or third rak'ah?
A: It is obligatory for him to catch the entire prayer in congregation, from its beginning to its end.
