Question
What should a person do if prayer starts and a person is still on his way to the masjid?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.If prayer starts and a person is still on his way to the masjid,
then he should not hurry in his walk; instead, he should walk with calmness
and respect as indicated in the hadith of Abi Huraira (may Allah be
pleased with him), in which he said: [The Prophet]
(peace be upon him) said: "If salaat is started, do not approach
it running, but approach it walking, with calmness. Whatever you catch up with,
pray, and what you miss, complete it."1
