Joining a person performing Salaah alone
Question
If a person is busy reading Salaah alone, then another person comes and joins him to make jamaat. Is this action ok? What should the first person do in this case?
Answer
Yes.
He does not have to do anything. If he intends himself being the imaam then if it is a jahri (audible) namaaz he should read aloud.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
