A Second Congregation in the Ablution Area

Question

In a mosque where the prayer has already been performed, some people perform the prayer again in congregation in the ablution area of that mosque, and some of them also end up on the floor of the mosque. Will their prayer be makruh or not?

Answer

If such a situation arises occasionally, there is no harm in it, but it should not be made a habit. For those worshippers in such a congregation who are on the floor of the mosque, it will be makruh.
