Summary
Holding a congregational prayer after the appointed imam has finished is disliked (makruh) according to the majority of scholars. This ruling is not absolute and is lifted in certain situations. These include a mosque on a busy thoroughfare where people regularly stop to pray, no appointed imam, a mosque too small to hold the congregation in one prayer, or fear that the prayer time will expire. It is also lifted when it is certain that no division or dispute will arise among the local community.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mendirikan solat berjemaah setelah imam ratib selesai mendirikannya adalah makruh menurut Jumhur.
