Q.| Can a worshipper who wants to perform a certainly missed prayer or an obligatory diurnal prayer of the same day as part of a congregation be connected to the congregational leader (imām al-jamāʻah) or the other congregants through a worshipper who is performing a probably missed prayer?

A.| A worshipper performing a probably missed prayer cannot serve as the link through which one may be connected to a congregational prayer.
