Fatwa: Does joining break Sunnah prayer
Dr. Mahmoud Shalaby, Secretary of the Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) Department at the Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta, confirmed that a voluntary (Nafl) prayer is not interrupted if someone enters to join the congregation. The worshiper should continue their prayer normally without any change or distraction. He explained that someone praying the Sunnah of Maghrib can act as an imam for those performing the obligatory (Fard) prayer, which is permissible in Islam, whether the person is leading a voluntary or obligatory prayer. He also clarified that Sunnah prayers are performed silently, and it is recommended not to raise the voice when praying them. Any action such as stopping the prayer or alerting others inside the prayer to someone's entrance can cause unnecessary disturbance. Instead, it is better to complete the prayer without distraction. Therefore, allowing someone to enter during a voluntary prayer does not invalidate it. The worshiper should continue the prayer as normal, and it is permissible for them to be an imam for the Fard prayer if they meet the requirements, provided they do not interrupt or disturb others during their prayer.
