Congregational prayer is permissible for supererogatory prayers (nafl), such as the night vigil ( al-layl), especially if it leads to benefits like instructing Muslims in matters of their religion, provided that it is not performed regularly, out of fear of falling into the category of an innovated addition (bid'ah idafiyyah).
