A Second Jamaa'ah

Q: Salaah-233: A Tablighi Jamaa'ah reached a Masjid at a time when the salaah has already been performed in Jamaa'ah (congregation). Will it now be best for them to perform a second Jamaa'ah or should they perform the salaah individually? Will the salaah be performed with or without the Adhaan and lqaamah?

Answer: In the stated case, the salaah should be performed individually and without Adhaan and lqaamah because making a second Jamaa'ah in a Masjid is Makrooha. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
