Prayer behind the Imam with a Different Intention


Question :

I came to the mosque and found the Imam was already praying the 'Asr prayer, and I had not yet performed the Zuhr prayer, so I prayed with him with the intention of Zuhr. After I had completed the prayer with the congregation, I performed the 'Asr prayer alone. Is this permissible?


Answer:

There is no objection to this prayer. It is permissible to perform the Zuhr prayer while the Imam is performing the 'Asr prayer and vice versa, because they both consist of the same number of Rak'ahs and a different hidden intention does not harm.
