What is the ruling on doing a second congregational prayer in the mosque, according to the four madhhabs?
If the second prayer in congregation is done in a mosque where there is no regular imam, there is nothing wrong with it according to the scholars. But if it is done in a mosque where there is a regular imam, if the reason for not praying with him is division and factionalism, it is not permissible, according to scholarly consensus. But if it was done for an unplanned reason, such as if some of the worshippers missed the prayer in congregation, then the Hanafis, Malikis and Shafa‘is regard that as disliked (makruh), but what is more likely to be correct is that it is prescribed.
