Prayer: Can an Imam Lead More Than Two Congregations by Intending Qadā’ for Caution?
English:
Question #578:
There is a great need for congregational prayer imams to hold congregational prayer in governmental offices, schools, etc. Other than me, there is no scholar in this area. That is why I perform one obligatory prayer several times at different places. All marji‘s have permitted the imam to lead two congregational prayers. Can one lead more congregations with the intention of performing qaḍā’ of possibly missed prayers for caution?
Answer #578:
As for the given assumption, it is not correct to lead congregational prayer with the intention of performing of possibly missed prayers for caution.
