Reflections from some statements of Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali [33 of 80]


In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

السؤال : ما حكم الجماعة الثانية في المسجد الذي تقام به الجماعة ؟
الجواب : إن كانت الجماعة الثانية تتعمد ألاّ تصلي وراء هذا الإمام، وتنشئ جماعة ثانية إظهارا للفرقة والفتن، فهذا حرام ولا يجوز، حتى لو كان إمام المسجد مبتدعا، تصلي وراءه مع جماعة المسلمين، ولا تنشئ جماعة أخرى
أما إذا كنت حريصا على صلاة الجماعة -وفضلها ،والصلاة في الجماعة تعدل سبعة وعشرين صلاة من صلاة الفذّ – حرصت على هذه الفضيلة لكن فاتتك وفرغ الإمام من هذه الصلاة؛ الظهر أو العصر أو المغرب أو العشاء، وجاء واحد وواحد وواحد فصلوا جماعة ؛إذا كانت فاتتهم بغير قصد منهم ولا بقصد إنشاء جماعة أخرى فليصلوا ولا مانع في ذلك . وراجعوا في هذا الموضوع تحفة الأحوذي
والشيخ الألباني يحكي عن الشافعي رحم الله الجميع أنه لا يرى تعدد الجماعات إلا في مسجد على الطريق بعيد عن المدن والقرى، وأما في المدن والقرى فلا يرى تعدد الجماعات، سواء كانوا معذورين أو غير معذورين ! وناقشت الألباني في هذه المسألة وقلت له:
يعني الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم قال في واحد من الصحابة تأخر وفاتته الصلاة : (من يتصدق على هذا ) قال الشيخ الألباني رحمه الله : هذا في حقّ المتنفِّل ؛الثاني متنفل والأول مفترض ! على كل حال هذا رأيه، لكن الصواب أنه إذا ما قصد الفتنة ولم يقصد إنشاء جماعة ثانية وهو حريص على الصلاة مع الجماعة، ثم فاتته وفاتت هذا وهذا فصلوا جماعة فلا مانع

Question: What is the ruling regarding a second congregational prayer in a Masjid where (the fixed) congregational prayer has already been established?

Answer: If the second congregational prayer is intentional in order not to pray behind this Imam (i.e. the one appointed for the five prayers at fixed times) and to establish a second congregational prayer to demonstrate division and discord, this is unlawful and not permissible. Even if the Imam of the Masjid is a Mubtadi (Footnote a), one prays behind him with the congregation of the Muslims and should not establish another congregational prayer.

As for If you are keen on congregational prayers and its virtue—the prayer in congregation being twenty-seven times more virtuous, but you missed this opportunity, such as (when) the Imam completes the prayer (be it Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha), thus others arrive to form a congregation. If they miss the (fixed) congregational prayer unintentionally, nor intending to established another congregational prayer (i.e. prior to their arrival), they can pray and there is no objection in that. For further details on this matter, refer to “Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi.”

Shaikh Al-Albani reports from Imam Ash-Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on all, that he did not endorse more than one congregational prayer, except in a Masjid (located) on a road far from cities and towns. As for in cities and towns, he did not endorse the establishment of multiple congregational prayers, regardless of whether people have valid excuses or not. I engaged Al-Albani in a discussion regarding this matter and expressed my thoughts to him, saying:

Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, mentioned regarding one of the companions who missed a prayer: “Who will give charity to this one?” Shaikh Al-Albani, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “This applies to the one performing voluntary prayers; the second person is performing a voluntary prayer while the first is performing an obligatory paryer”. In any case, this was his opinion, but the correct view is that if one neither intends discord nor to establish a send congregational prayer, and he is keen on congregational prayer, but then he misses the prayer and another person also misses it, they may pray together and there is no objection.
