The ruling on having multiple congregations in one mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q369: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on having multiple congregations in one mosque, especially when some pray after the imam, and some may deliberately delay behind the imam in order to pray with another congregation?

A369: This is not permissible; having multiple congregations at the same time in the mosque is not permissible. They should be one congregation. If they miss the prayer and they did not intend to delay, but rather missed it unintentionally, then they should establish the prayer after the imam.
