Is it permissible to pray Fajr in congregation behind someone who is praying Duha?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The 's Summary:
The preponderant opinion is that a difference in intention between the Imam and the congregant does not affect the prayer. Therefore, it is permissible for someone who missed Fajr prayer to make it up behind someone praying Duha. This is the view of the majority of scholars, based on the of Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), and because it is a matter on which there is no disagreement among the Shafi'is.
