Is it permissible to repeat congregational obligatory prayers in the mosque after performing them individually with one's family?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for you to pray in congregation with your family as a supererogatory act for you and an obligatory act for them, while your obligatory prayer is performed in the mosque. The merit of congregational prayer in the mosque is greater than at home. However, repeating the obligatory prayer twice—once at home and once in the mosque—is not permissible, as it constitutes innovation in religion.
