Is praying in a congregation that follows the the main congregation in the mosque counted as having the reward of the main congregation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The first congregational prayer is better for two reasons:
1. The basic principle is that only one congregation should be held in the mosque, and most scholars disliked holding a second congregation after the first.
2. Attending the first congregation involves hastening to prayer and answering the call.
