Spørsmål
Assalam o alaykom, I have a question regarding praying in congregation. I pray in school, and while I am praying Dhuhr, the congregation often begins (i.e. we can hear the adhaan on the speakers in the women’s prayer room). Since I have to return to the lecture, I start praying as soon as I enter the room. Is it permissible to continue my prayer while the congregation is in progress, or do I have to wait until after the congregation?
Svare

Assalamu alaikum,
Thank you for your inquiry.
It would undoubtedly be permissible for you to pray before the jama’ah (congregation). The reasons for this are straightforward, firstly, that you are short of time due to the teaching, and secondly, jama’ah is sunnah muakkadah for men only. So women are exempt from it (Kitab al-Fiqh 1/649).
And Allah knows best.
Wassalam
