finished, so they pray in a second jamaa'ah with a different imam.
Praise be to Allaah.
This is the issue of establishing a second jamaa'ah in the mosque. The
Standing Committee (7/309) was asked about the ruling on establishing
a second jamaa'ah in the mosque and replied:
Whoever comes to the mosque and finds that thejamaa'ah has prayed with
the regular imam or another imam, should pray in jamaa'ah with others
like him who also missed the (first) jamaa'ah,or some of those who
have already prayed should do him the favour of praying with him,
because of the hadeeth narrated by Ahmad in his Musnad, and by Abu
Dawood in his Sunan, fromAbu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased
with him) who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peaceand blessings of
Allaah be upon him) saw a man praying by himself and said, "Won't
someone do this man a favour and pray with him?" So a man got up and
prayed with him. Al-Tirmidhi also narrated this from Abu Sa'eed
al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him), but he said, "So a man
came and prayed with him."
Al-Tirmidhi said: (it is) a hasan hadeeth. It was alsonarrated and
classed as saheeh by al-Haakim, and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. It was
also narrated by Ibn Hazm in al-Muhalla,and he indicated that it is
saheeh.
Abu 'Eesa al-Tirmidhi said: This is the view of more than one of the
Sahaabah and Taabi'een. They said: there is nothing wrong with people
praying in congregation in a mosque in which a congregational prayer
has already been offered. This was also the view of Ahmad and Ishaaq.
Others said that they should pray individually. This was the view of
Sufyaan, Ibn al-Mubaarak, Maalik and al-Shaafa'i. End quote.
They and those who agreed with them regarded it as makrooh because
they feared division and the generation of enmity, and that those who
follow their whims and desires might take that as an excuse for coming
late for prayers in congregation, so that they could pray in another
jamaa'ah behind an imam who agreed withtheir deviant ways and
innovations. So they blocked the way that leads to division and put an
end to the aims of those who follow their evil whims and desires, by
saying that no one should offer an obligatory prayer in congregation
in a mosque when the prayer has already been offered in jamaa'ah with
a regular imam or any other imam.
The first opinion is the onewhich is correct, because of what we have
said above about the general meaning of the verse (interpretation of
the meaning):
"So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can"
[al-Taghaabun 64:16]
And the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him): "When I command you to do a thing, do as much of it as you can."
Undoubtedly praying in congregation is part of fearing Allaah (taqwa)
andis one of the things enjoined by sharee'ah, so we should strive to
do it as much as we can.
It is not right to contradicta sound narration with theopinions of
some scholars who based their view repeating the jamaa'ah in the
mosque as makrooh on their own rational thinking. Rather we should do
that which is indicated by the saheeh reports. If it is known that a
person or a group delays(joining the jamaa'ah) because of negligence,
anddoes that repeatedly, or it is known from their behaviour or their
affiliation with a different group that they are delaying in order to
pray with others like them, they should be rebuked and they should be
disciplined in whatever manner seems fit to those who are in charge,
as a deterrent to them and others like them who follow their whims and
desires. Thus the way to division will be barred andthe aims of those
who follow their whims and desires will be thwarted whilst also
following the evidence which says that those who missed the
firstjamaa'ah should pray in another jamaa'ah.
And Allaah is the Source ofstrength. May Allaah send blessings and
peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
Al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah li'l-Buhooth al-'Ilmiyyah wa'l-Ifta' (Standing
Committee for Academic Research and Issuing Fatwas).
This is with regard to the five daily prayers. With regard to Jumu'ah
(Friday) prayer, it should not be repeated, rather it ends with the
imam's salaam. Whoever misses Jumu'ah prayer should pray Zuhr instead,
whether on his own or with a jamaa'ah.
The above is with regard to the ruling. With regard to sin, if the
person's delaywas for a legitimate shar'i excuse, then there is no sin
on him, but if there was no excuse then it is a sin.
