Second jamaat in the musjid
Question
If due to rain in certain parts of the world, Maghrib and Isha’ are prayed together in the masjid. Would it be permissible for Hanafis to conduct a second congregational Isha’ prayer in that masjid, because it is forbidden to conduct second congregation prayer in a masjid?
Answer
The namaaz will not be valid in the musjid with jamaat. This is applicable to a musjid where there is an appointed imaam. If there is no appointed imaam and it is a musjid on the thoroughfare then the namaaz with jamaat for Esha can be repeated.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
