Q: As you are aware, in Gulf countries, in the Masjid after the main congregation is over, there are many second and third small congregation/jamaat prayers going on in the masjid with 5 people or 6 people or 10 people ,and so forth. As far as I know, in Hanafi Fiqh, it is not considered okay to make second jamaat in the masjid. As a Hanafi, what should a tourist visiting a Gulf country or a resident of a Gulf country do if he misses the main congregation and he sees the second smaller congregations of a handful people going on? Should he join it or should he pray the fardh separately?
Q: As the Asr prayer for the Ahnaaf starts after Mithle-Thaani, in Gulf countries it starts at Mithle-Awwal and the jamaat of Asr in the Masjid is made whilst the Dhuhr time of Ahnaaf is still going on and since in each and every part of the Gulf the asr jamaat is at earlier times, what should a person do? Should he join the jamaat or should he pray alone for Asr prayer?
